I'd paint all of that chrome stuff the same color as the car.......make sure you sand it good and prime it with a primer that sticks to plastic......

leave it chrome, painting it red or bodycolor will looks like a cheap *** special spray job done in Mexico.

not to mention the paintet will not do sh-t to cover the rubber piece in between

black looks better than chrome. the only way to get black trim is to get NEW OEM trim for the DX

I wouldn't paint the chrome parts. But the moldings on the side of the door would be better painted the color of the car. Just remember, when it comes to paint jobs, you get what you pay for.
