Chrome trim removal?

The chrome on my car around the sindows is starting to look a bit ratty, particularly on the 1/4 windows behind the rear doors. I think I'm going to paint it black (satin, possibly with clear).

Other than the molding in the top of the front windshield, which really can't be removed unless you take out the windshield itself, how hard is it to get the rest? Has anyone ever done it?

Or am I going to end up masking off like the entire car to paint the stuff?

Steve
