Remember too, that those stainless side moldings have around a two dozen holes in total, down the side of the car that the mounting studs go through. That would be not fun to weld up and make nice for a black paint job. I think the car has just the right amount of chrome/stainless on it.
The added bonus is that the body side moldings actually protect the car in its most vulnerable area: the body line.
The only I would not put back on are the vertical door edge moldings that were ordered on the car. Those things are impossible to reinstall without chipping the paint.
