My exterior trim definitely needs a refresher and i plan on repainting them to make them look new again. Id rather not have to "back to black" them every week haha so could you guys recommend a paint that would bring them back to looking new? Im not sure if i should go with a matte black or maybe a satin. I did see a "trim paint" by duplicolor at pep boys the other day.
P.S. I plan on redoing the mirrors, the B and C pillars and the piece that's around the windshield wipers

If your looking for a quick job that's guna turn out decent the trim paint is great. Its a matte paint that keeps its color. Just make sure u pick up some gray scuff pads and some kind of surface cleaner. Scuff the parts up till they have no shin to them, wipe them down with ur surface prep and spray away, and you should be good as new 
Never let anyone tell you that you can't. The only reason why people say that, is because someone told them they can't and they listened.
I just found Rustroleum's new line of spray paints called "Universal" - I have used the gray and gloss black so far and I love it! It's made for every surface (metal, wood, plastic, etc.) and has a nice grip to spray at "any angle." Maybe you could try it in a matte or flat black? You definitely don't want the gloss black on exterior trim! lol G'luck!
