If its RHD its a Nissan Skyline. It is clean but goodness the window line is nearly identical to the GS.
This GS has its window trim painted or covered.

I think we can try to use the window tint film to "black out" the chromes, as you have mentioned rear door has a big azz piece of chrome...
Since we can just roll the entire film over the chrome area and cut out the extras, this way it would looked vary professional without cut & paste or overlapping the film!!!
use a larger piece for the rear part of the door. the chrome trim is broken up into multiple pieces around the door so that provides a good start and stopping point. its hard to explain but look at your trim, you'll see what i mean

Just curious to see if anyone has painted this? The chrome piece that pretty much runs around the whole windows (see picture below)
I searched and found a pic of someone who taped theirs off to get an idea of how it would look.
Has anyone done this and if so, do you have pics? Is this part easily removable?

Here is the cheapest fastest and non per way to go
I know this thread is pretty old.... and you all may have already heard or used this method, so this is for the owner whom has not. Its called Plasti-dip.
Here is my GS before and after, took me about 2 hours to do the window trim, grill, around the head lights, lower door trim, all badging. Go to youtube and search for Dip Your Car, it will take you step by step.

I just vinyled all my chrome with 3M scotchprint Gloss Black vinyl.
If anyone is interested in where I bought the vinyl, I bought it at this website.
