Some folks have successfuly painted their grilles, mirrors and other hard black trim. I think SEM makes a good paint for this. The bumper rubber and side molding trim is usually treated with forever black, black again or other juice, but I have seen a silver 7 with the door moldings painted car color (including the chrome strip.) It looked good. As for the Window channel gaskets, Maximillian has good knowledge and prices. The part numbers are:

51-32-1-921-459/60 Front Left and Right $36 list

51-34-1-921-513/4 Rear Left and Right $39 list (last year)

As for undercoating, any auto body supply store should be able to get you an excellent product from 3M or some other name manufacturer.

This site can talk about paint prep.
