Default Colour coding Side Moulds

Hi guys, atm my side moulds just arnt doing it for me and with the front bumper mould becoming somewhat faded ive been wanting to colour code them with the rest of my car (Poly Green). I want to paint all the grey in poly green and freshen up the red stripes along the moulds. _2:

Is this an easy job (that i could do myself??... ive got access to a spray gun, compressor etc) or would it be better to get a panel shop to do it? Any tips or advice? or do u think i should get them redone in grey? How much do you think they would charge? Sorry for all the Qns...:

Thanks in advance, Shan.
I want it to look like somewhat this ;) :

you can take the chrome bits out.
a lot of people replace it with stuff that u can buy at paint shots etc, its a lot cheaper.

Just do it yourself. Practice a bit first on something and see how you go. It's all in the prep work
