Default Colour Code plastic bits on Sapphire?

I'm going to get my Sapphire re-sprayed and the sprayer said it would look better if all the black mouldings were painted white to match the car White Sapphires look really dated so what do I do?

Re-spray as original?
Spray it black so all the black plastic does not show?
Spray it white and leave the plastic stuff alone?

Pic as it is now

Looks like original is the way to go

I've got a quote of Ł1200 to do a complete job including removing bonnet boot and doors spraying all the door shuts, boot shut, bonnet shut and putting it all back together, sounds a lot of cash, but to do it right is a load of hours.

Personally, I wouldn't resray it unless its necessary - they never look quite right after as the paint is too thick etc..

Just my opinion!
