Painting the trim

I peeled all the plastic off my trim and have it off the car and need a little advice on how to prep the surface. Will roughing it up with sand paper work or do I need to do more?

lightly....use a self etching automotive grade primer... available at most auto parts stores. Don't use a flat paint, it will fade quickly. If your looking for a flat look, choose a satin color. Almost the same look, but stands up to the weather better....

which trim? window moldings I assume?

If so, and you have the shiny stainless surface showing, then demon's advice is good.

Scuff it up with a Scotch pad, etching primer, then whatever color you want.
