Default Door molding?

Dumb question, but how much to expect to pay for molding to be painted? Can I do it myself? How do I get my paint in a spray form? Any help would be great! Thanks Jeff

i would suggest removing all the molding and be done with it, unless there is a reason it can't be done...

You might get away with spraying it rattle can because it is so small and curved. They aren't that much from the dealer.

I agree, unless there is some reason why you must keep it (some else's car or w/e) then have you thought of removing it? Improves the look so greatly I think, but everyone does have different tastes so idk.

Talking Door molding removal?

How easy is this to do? What are they attached with? Are they like a decal and can be heated and peeled off? Thanks
