how r you suppose to paint these? usually flat black and chrome metal underneath...usually paint chips off

 

thats piece is plastic and needs to be painted with a flexible paint or dyed!!
Make sure you prep it right.

 

it's called a belt molding, you can scrape all that peeling crap off and trim black it.

 

nice....thanks guys.....tried using regular paint before...it doesnt stick....just flakes....

 

this is gonna sound like a really noob question but how do you remove these pieces with out breaking them??? are they clips or something?

 

theres a tool you use, its shaped like a flat wide hook. you pry them off from the inside on the botom. sometimes you can get them off without the tool. and sometimes there is a screw holding it on at the end.

yeah, its a pain to get them off trying to explain it without showing. if you feel you might break them, try having a local shop do it for you. if they run good shops they should have someone do that for you. it wouldnt take but about two mins a side. Trim black paint is what you would use. if you sand it to the metal, you will need to spray a LITE coat of etch primer on the metal. most paints dont stick well to bare metal
