Side Molding

I'm trying to get my hatch painted in the next couple of months. I was wondering if you can paint of the side grey moldings or if i need to replace them. anyone know?

you can paint them

Is there a way to paint over the side molding to make it look the same as the rest of the car. Would it blend to where it looks like the rest of the car and not to dull or plastic.

Yes, just tell them to paint it the color of the car.
