A couple questions regarding painting...

I was wondering about the trim around the bed, the tailgate handle and the black rubber on the bumpers.. the grey plastic. How do I go about getting all this looking new again?
Also, I want to PTM my grill surround but am not sure if I wanna keep the billet chrome or paint it black. I have an 02 Screw DSG. After doing all this, I will probably feel a little bit more ambitious, so I was wondering how I should go about my taillights, 3rd brake light. Do I lightly sand and clean before spraying, or jus spray. Also, my tailights have covers over them that are plastic, and glued on but I like them.. anyway to get these off and back on without dmging them?
Lastly... the black upright 'panels' between each window and the weather striping around the windows, anyone know where I can replacements for a decent price?

Thanks.

Anything made of plastic paint with krylon fusion for plastic, it's at walmart. I dont know the answer to all your questions but some should be covered already if you try the search button near the top. Good Luck

tape off the vehicles paint with blue masking tape, let full sheets of newspaper or painters paper hang down to catch the overspray when you paint, and get yourself some 600ish grit sand paper and sand that plastic. then shoot with the krylon. paint is only as good as the prep work.
