Has anyone painted the chrome window trim black before? Or, how can I remove the trim without damaging it to paint it?

Remove what? He is talking about the stock chrome strip that goes around the window. I would like to do exactly what he is talking about.

I prefer the monochromatic look. YMMV.

Hair dryer usually works pretty good, or just put a Si sticker next to it and maybe you'll get lucky and they'll take both.
