Has anyone here painted moldings and trim?

[67_C-30]

The molding on my '68 is very straight but very oxidized. It will cost me over $1000 for the side molding, headlight/grille trim, and tailgate trim. I am building a nice driver, but it will not be a show truck. I am even thinking about painting the factory light blue, but in a satin finish. Anodized trim doesn't shine like chrome anyway, so I am thinking about trying to paint it. There are pretty "chrome" like paints out there now, and I'm thinking about trying something like that.

I painted a peice of taillight trim with the spray chrome paint and compared it to a new anodized peice it. It is not far off, and looks much better than old oxidized stuff. I know the spray stuff probably won't hold up, but I'm thinking about buying something like Mirrorchrome:

Here is a pic of the cheap Duplicolor stuff and a new anodized part. The last pic is the Mirrorchrome vs real chrome.

Anybody else done this?
