Default Painting stainless trim and bumpers

Hey all I've just had my car re sprayed and want to paint all the trim and bumpers black anyone done this if so what sort of paint do you use? Im thinking of using some rubberized paint which ive used in the past on my falcon wheels which seems to be lasting just a bit worried about the durability of it around the door frame trim

I found with chrome motorcycle parts many years ago, sandblast the chrome off and powder coat the colour you want. Sounds expensive, but you only do it once.

Paint don't like chrome!...or is it chrome don't like paint. Can't remember which.

Maybe you're looking for Plastidip Dipheads Unite - PlastiDip :: Home

Apparently you just peel it off to repair a section or change colours.
