Default Need to repaint metal strip under side windows. Suggestions?



That metal strip on my black Prelude looks like crap. Most of the paint is cracked and fallen off, showing the shiny metal underneath.

Any suggestions on going about repairing/repainting this? i.e., what sort of paint to use, etc.

I hate all that rubber crap, all of mine are busted up like that too. It'll be a fortune to replace all of them. Has anyone sucessfully painted the trim?

What's that piece called, do you know? If I were to buy a new one. "Metal strip under side windows thing" is too long

Thanks. Knew it was something simple.

With that info I found this installation guide if anyone else here wanted to know how to remove it and install a new one:
