Thoughts on the best way to black out the roof rails that would be durable enough to still handle a rack?

I don't understand this. I like chrome. It's shiny and it sparkles. I read one thread that offered a decent explanation about muting chrome on some interior surfaces. Something about distracting Sun reflections in mirrors. I can understand that as it could be a safety issue for some. But I don't understand all the exterior surfaces, especially when there seems to be so much cost and effort involved.

You buy a vehicle that costs tens of thousands of dollars, then cover a bunch of exterior surfaces and trim.
If everybody had the same taste the world would be pretty bland and everything would just look the same. I think chrome looks good on the right vehicle (ie classic cars that have real metal trim plated in chrome) but all this plastic fake chrome on new vehicles just looks cheesy. It's almost as bad as the fake wood they insist on putting in vehicles, I absolutely hate it. And as someone else stated, tastes change. I used to love black wheels when I was in my 20's but now in my 40's I think they look really boring and prefer pretty much any other color than black. Maybe when I get older I'll like chrome more, old guys seem to love chrome

The back orders are crazy. I ordered black letters and the black illuminated emblems in February and they are not expected in until August…
