@szlagjasny You're right! The white finished threshold trim did fade a little, over time. The trim was white & was finished in a slick shiny surface. I thought it would keep its shine but it didn't last long. I was hoping not to have to paint it but it will, in fact, need to be painted. Good call!!...lol Thanks for the suggestion. & thanks again for commenting so any other viewers would read the comment area will benefit from your comments. Joe :0

this trim will yellow , just get a quart of semi gloss paint , caulk the same color

and apply some caulk-adhesive and put some heavy objects to help keep it in place

like books , but do paint it

@SMSFWM Actually the trim "joe" used is white all the way through almost like a plastic material. It looked like it had a finish on it as it was slick to the touch not like pre-primered wood or anything. "Joe" installed this trim awhile ago & it has marked up more-so than "joe" would've thought so it probably would be a good idea to paint this type of trim before installing. Thanks for your comments & keep watching "joe". The more you watch, the more you know! :0

i think the trim peice is likely just pre-primed and will pick up stains easilly unless finished, especially since it is on the floor and at a doorway.
