Any links or local shops taht sell it? Is it in a spray can??

Also, I've never painted anything before, so do i have to sand the trim or do any prep to it??

You should defenitly sand the trim. I'm pretty sure krylon fusion is a commom paint.

Sorry for the really crappy picture, my cameras a little fu(ked.


But, now I do like it in black.
