you'd just have to sand down the chrome so your paint would adhere to the surface

I think that those moldings have a whitish plastic underneath so like metioned above strip off the chrome stuff because paint doesn't stick real well to that stuff. Get some 180 grit paper sand and finish sand with 320 grit and prime and sand with 320 and spray with a flexible trim paint.

duplicolor makes nice trim spray paints...their 'bumper spray' sticks to plastics and rubbers really well too

you should trade me your slipstreams for my blades so they match your current trim moldings.

i recently did mines the other day...came out real good and looks oem too...heres what i did...

lightly sand the chrome trimming
clean and mask it off
i bought duplicolor bumper paint...it renews or replaces bumper trimming..and is pretty nicely color matched...looks like a flat black...
then spray away...i'll try to post up pics i need to borrow a USB cable from someone...
heres the paint i used but it was on the chrome trimming on my front grill...
