+1 that looks great! I was looking into doing the same thing. What product did you use to paint it and how did you do it? Cost?!

Very simple mod. I used Krylon plastic spray paint. Four coats of satin black and three coats of clear coat. I forgot the price of those because I bought them last year. All you need to do is pop off the bezels, sand them down with fine sandpaper, clean them really well, and spray away.

Looks much better. I wish GM gave us black bezels from the factory instead of the chrome.

Looks good! Makes the car look more aggressive! Mine are flat black right now, but I need to satin clear coat them to match my rear panel blackout...

im pretty sure the krylon paint does not need sanding. the can says that right on the label. i painted mine satin black. 3 coats and no sanding nor clear coat.

Looks good!
