The only issue that can occur is that the rubber will "shrink" a little bit exposing non-oxidized paint around the edge.

Hi volks,

Another option is to simply paint the trim flat black, it basically disappears into the rubber that way, and still gives that clean look Frank was talking about.

Now, that's about the 100th time I've posted this same message ! So..........do whatever suits you but I like the looks of no ugly chromed trim there staring at me ! Pure black rubber is awesome especially when dressed with some Krown rustproofing oil which makes it shine
