Painting Hatch Trim - Rubber Black on Chrome?

[benzor]

Wondering if anyone has suggestions on how to paint the hatch trim?

Mine is peeling, and looks previous owners took a try at it and failed.

It looks to be chrome or shiny smooth plastic underneath. The rubber coating comes off in chunks, but I don't really want to try to peel it all off.

Usually the recipe for painting is to rough up the surface, but doesn't look like that was done to the chrome.

Any suggestions?

Hoss, try some satin black, Prep the area, masking, sanding, priming and painting. I'm lucky to have all the finish on mine, but in the future I plan to paint all my trim to freshin it up!

Strip it down and prime it with 2 part epoxy primer. Then you can paint it with anything you want

Pretty sure it's stainless steel.

I ended up putting Plastidip on it without sanding (although I did get rid of the loose bits) and it worked amazingly well.

I covered it in satin vinyl wrap that extended about half an inch over the glass. This stopped any water ingress and looks good.
