IPL chrome paint DIY?

Idk if I'm not digging deep enough but I'm surprised there's no DIY for color match painting the chrome trim and fog light bezels on the IPL bumpers. If I'm missing it, can someone please link it? Thanks

I just wrapped mine in black vinyl - looks great and don't have to worry about the paint chipping. You just take off the bumper, unscrew the trim rings, wrap them with vinyl (with a heat gun to make the vinyl more pliable), then reinstall. You can see some small defects when you're looking at it right in your face, but you really can't notice anything once they're installed on the car and you're looking at it from a few feet away.

I ended up just having a shop paint them along with my grill.
