Hey,
I think people want to smoke their euro lights since the 'smoked' ones aren't really that dark.
You said that you want to paint your side mouldings. Well it depends what color. The side mouldings are dark, so you have to add a base coat (usually a primer) so that the black color doesn't seep through. Also the part I believe is plastic or rubber or a combo. You need a primer so the paint can stick properly. But it all depends on the type of paint being used. (Touchup paint, as opposed to hobby paint).
Obviously first you clean the part. Then if it is on the car mask like nutz. For factory looking colors grey is the primer/base of choice. For a lighter tint use white.
I assume you just want to paint the trim the color of the car. So then use the grey primer, the color matched paint, then clear coat (all auto paint, not hobby paint). How many coats of each? Well, search around (like in the mirror painting writeup) and see what people say.
