Default DIY painting side moldings?

my side moldings are in pretty bad condition they're all faded, and i want to paint my side moldings anyways and i was wondering if this is something i could do myself that woudl turn out well.


i have a friend with a paint sprayer and i have also heard of some certain spray paints that has the same color as my integra (vogue silver), so how would i take out my moldings and then painting them, should i even try it?

btw yes i did a search...

i used the duplicolor import autospray that they had for my color and it turned out ok... but after couple years of beatin.. i need to redo them. but for$3/can or so its not bad...

Obviously it will not be bodyshop quality but still decent imo.
