Some of the molding is held on with adhesive tape and some of them use studs/nuts. I took my gas tank lid to a paint store and had them match the paint.

The easiest way to do it is to mask off the area around the molding. Use a wax and grease remover first. Then use a plastic prep product usually found at paint supply stores. PREP the plastic until you are blue in the face. You can sand the molding before all of this if it is scratched up. Then paint the darn things. Use several light coats. If you need more info then just ask.
