Arrow Has anyone painted they side molding at the bottom? Photos

i'm thinking about painting those body moldings at the bottom of the GS that are on each side of the car. i'm hoping some other forum members have done this and have some photos to share. thanks.

white... that's the best color on this gs in my opinion! i normally don't like white on cars, but it's so sick looking on this model gs. post some pics if you get a chance, even if they're taken with a camera phone.

also, i've seen the carbon fiber done... that's what got me thinking about painting them. so anyone with photos they can post, please upload them so i can see how it actually looks. thanks again.
