Default Chrome trim

Need some help fixing the chrome trim. I purchased my car and it was already like this. What's the best way to fix it.

The car comes with chrome trim from the factory and it looks like whoever had the car before you did a chrome delete. If it's plasti-dip you can repaint the trim on that door, if it's painted it will need to be repainted, if it's vinyl wrap it will need to be rewrapped. Figure out what product was used and go from there.

I don't think it's plasti dip nor vinyl wrapped. The peeling is not sticky like plasti dip. The paint chips off. What is the best paint I could use? Specific brand/type? Thanks

I would take it to a professional and have them fix it it's too easy to mess up.

BTW vinyl can harder like paint sometimes
