Hi does anyone know where i can get instead of the factory chrome exterior trim switch it to black exterior trim?

Do you mean the door handles? Boot (tailgate to you from USA) handle?

Door handles not heard of anyone doing.

Boot handles, your dealer.

sandpaper and paint. No really. I saw a thread on NAM where someone did a great job of 'dechroming'. I want to do it, but am leary of painting all of my chrome.

Yes. Here is a link to the NAM thread I mentioned above:

He did not replace, but painted.
