That's the plan I have for mine, a previous owner has stripped the black coating off so it looks chrome but I think I want it black again.

I used plastidip on the trim at the bottom of the side windows on my old ZS that had the same issue with the black coating peeling (think it had some replacement doors at some point from an old 400 or civic)

you couldn't tell it wasn't the original finish, it's really easy to do, you don't even have to mask it up very well as any over spray will just peel off so can be done without removing the trim from the car.

There are thousands of videos on youtube of people using plastidip on their badges and wheels, even whole cars. the process is exactly the same.

Here's a handy example
