I know lots of the guys on e90post are painting their chrome window trim. You might want to poke around over there to find out.

Im pretty sure you could sand it down first to a brushed aluminum look, then paint the rough material. Painting on the chrome would probably be pretty difficult.

I got use to it, before I hated them but it doesn't bother me anymore. How about window visors??? it will cover the top part but the bottom your on ur own.

I hated the chrome trim also. I originally got it painted black chrome, but then changed it to just plain black:
