Default Painting the lower body trim, has it been done?

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/65278/our_s6.jpg"></center><p>Has anyone painted the black rubber trim all around the bottom of their s4/s6?
School's almost over, and I will have some free time to work on the S car, and since I don't have anough $$$ for a complete body kit, I'd like to atleast paint the trim a silver color.

Any tips/trick/ideas?

Default Thats what i thought. If i decide to paint anyway...

..and the paint looks too horrid after a while, will i be able to bring the trim back to its original look, or will there be too much erosion/damage from the paint?
