to my knowledge the 2001 accords (g6, right?) dont have side mouldings, but i think if the chrome was painted you wouldnt really have to have it color-matched, would u?

also, i personally have painted some chrome on my car, also the weatherstripping, and i just made sure to mask everything off.. the good thing about the stripping is that it's near glass, which doesn't really matter if u get overspray on, etc
