Hi Again! 

Sorry for posting a few threads in a row, basically trying to carry out some of the work on my car which has been bugging me since day 1 but on the cheap rather than shelling out loads of money which I don't have!

Right, so I've always wanted the chrome trim around the doors...it's going to cost £80 for the stick on trim which is out of my budget at present. Is there any way to paint this trim a different colour (maybe even glossy black)? Assuming this is possible but wondering if I have to remove it from the car first or if it would be possible to do it while it's on the car...if so, what would I need? 

Can carry out a quick Google to find out generic info on how to paint this trim but want to know from you guys who know Astra's well and have done similar work before! 

Thanks
