are black inserts available to replace the chrome ones that fit in the front and rear windscreens rubbers? or should i just paint them? and how easy is it to remove them?
also the chrome trim on the doors etc. are black versions
available instead or should i paint these also?
the car is black and the chrome looks dated now.
Thanks, Matt

Try to find some Plasti Dip Spray-On Heavy Duty Flexible Rubber Coating. It produces a nice flat matte black finish. Just be careful what you use for masking tape as the solvent in this stuff melts the glue on regular masking tape.
