The "best way" isn't always the cheapest. I have seen home made jobs using masking tape and a rattle can of touch up paint and the trim looks horrible. The best way to paint your side mouldings is to take your car to a body shop. Alhtough it can be done by yourself, the side mouldings are a highly visible portion of your car. A body shop will remove the mouldings, prep the surfaces, prime and paint / install them professionally. This will insure a smooth OEM paint look / finish.

DART - Digital Audio Restoration Technology
Trim length allows you to speed up audio data of a single song or an entire compilation without audibly changing the sound of the music (changing the speed by more than 5% may damage the quality of an audio file).
