Can it be painted?

2 parts in question

1. The chrome lining that goes around the entire car, bumpers, doors, fenders.

2. The STOCK chrome lining around the grille. I've seen it on other LS' (Including the JP kit)

And how? Bc I know im gonna get the "it can't be done"

Don't paint it, tape it. More easily reversable once you decide it looks too dark in a few months...

Anything can be done if you're willing to spend the money. Now what color do you want to do them in?

A body shop can probably get all of the strips as they often replace them rather than try to carefully remove and reuse them. For example, the rear bumper strip was about $88 and the front bumper strip was about $71 when my body shop reworked my car after I bought it.
