blackening trim on MK1

["Kris Rayner" <veritech@fix.net>]

Over the years the black coating on the window trim of my "S" has 
rubbed of and now has a shinny appearance to it.  I'd like to 
blacken it out again.  I had planned on masking everything off, 
roughing up the trim a little bit and then spraying it a satin black. 
Has anybody else done this and with what success.  I know the 
best method is to remove all the trim and paint it off the car, but I 
don't want to ruin the window rubber, especially after the quote I got 
to replace it ($140 for one of the seals alone).  So, what type of 
paint would be good to use?  How should I prep the trim (sand 
paper would leave too deep of gouges)?  I was thinking steel wool 
would work good.
