Default Painting H2 plastic/side moldings

Hi all. I have a 2006 H2 SUT in White. I just went through and replaced everything on the truck with all the billet stuff.... and that looks great. The problem I have now is that I have White paint.. Chrome stuff everywhere, and then all the plastic moldings and trim in BLACK (Gross)

I admit I am a blinger... so basically I am just not happy with the 3 different colors showing. Has anyone had the stock black trim and such painted on their H2? Was any special process done to get it to adhere well? Was it expensive? Paint color hard to match? And finally, and most importantly, does the paint stay on well or is it relatively easy to chip/flake off since it is on the plastic?

Any advice would really be appreciated!

Thanks!
-matt

I had mine done prefessionally and it will probably run around 2000 or so becuase of having to take all the parts off. They used a special plastic bonding primer and flexible additive in the paint.
