i think they look better painted whatever colour the body is painted,
I'm assuming your car is white so keep it white also :yesnod:

I love mine painted, but they car is black, they're black. I just hate the bare rubber look on there.

Think of your painted molding as an asthetic mod, rather than a mistake. :chevy

My molding is not painted but I think molding looks fine painted. If the molding had came for the factory painted I doubt anyone would be trying to get the paint off to have that nice rubber look. IMHO

:cool:
