Door Window Trim Blackout

[Jeza]

I quite like the standard quarterlight vents on my doors but I'm in the process of blacking out the "chrome" trim.

What have people done with the door windows? The quarterlight frame is no trouble to remove and paint but what about the bead of aluminum that sits beside the window scraper/ felt channel. Do people paint this or remove it completely? Whats left if you remove it and what rubber do you use to replace the original?

Cheers
