I started a thread about it back in the day. Still have trim corners and nothing else on my truck, but I've been focusing (on and off) on the interior lately.

I wonder if the black stripes down in the lower areas of the "chrome" tape can be cleaned off. Then we could tape off the wide center strip and spray that with a bed liner or texture product. SEM makes a texture product that would need paint over it. A can of the bed liner would probably do it and could be held close enough to the trim to not create too much texture.

The factory trim had a clear plastic cover over the trim. I'm not sure how well aftermarket trim would hold up over time assuming that same cover would be there and have to be removed to paint the center section.

Not a bad idea at all though.

I think the black lines are painted on to what you're calling the cover. so the black can probably be carefully cleaned off. I'll take a look at it on my truck later. That cover is to protect the silver/chrome foil and is present on the trim with the black center too. anyway, that center can be scuffed and painted right on top of that cover.I've actually done it just with trim paint before to patch in a piece.
