Default Dealer painted mine pre delivery. They offerred and I took them up on it.
Figured I could always order an unpainted one. I like the look of it.

No. Chrome strips left as chrome.

Good because that would be ugly painted over the chrome portion.

Default Remove the chrome, fill in, and paint the whole thing?

Default Hey nice trick! I think I'd stick with the original though. I like having
a bit of contrast.
