Vic, no big secret lah.

I simply got them painted at Angie's.

There was one issue though. After the window trim was painted gloss black, there was plenty of creaking. Spent one whole day troubleshooting. Took out the trims, pasted some rubber tape on the mounting points, changed a whole new set of clips (20 of them!)... nothing worked.

At last, went over to BVO and asked David. He passed me some gel spray and told me to spray it onto the parts of the door seals that come into contact with the window trimming and polish the trimming real good.

Did just that, and VOILA! All creaking sounds just disappeared! Expert joo si expert.

Anyway, he says this is very common with painted window trimmings. So to those who are thinking about doing this, don't panic when this happens.
