Painting chrome window trim

[Russianred]

Trim-Brite Blackout Tape is the way to go. $6 a roll, and you will need 2 rolls for the whole car. Just use a soft credit card to push the bubbles out while you are applying it. It is tricky at first, but after the first door you should have a good hang of how to do it. Make sure it wraps around every crevice, and don't cut it too much or chrome will show. Get a sharp exacto knife. I'd start with one of the rear doors. Hope this helps.

You can get it here:

or at an auto shop like Pep Boys.

That stuff really is good. I had it on my car for like a year and a half and I was able to peal it right off with no residue left behind.
