I would need to paint over it because I aim to repair the sides as well as paint.

gloss black no question a chrome lip mite would give you that "POP" a little more but definately not a silver lip...
How do you propose to do that?

No, a bright silver lip does the trick nicely, I think.
Its actually pretty easy, you just sand, fine sand and then use mothers aluminum polish and they will look just like chrome.

Thank you...

and also in agreement with what NY stated the purpose is to have a contrasting lip that "pops" instead of workin with a piece of steel

Regardless of what the poll or anyone says pick the color You like! Everytime you go to drive it we are not the ones who are going to have to look at it, You are... and nothing will ruin your experience more than when you finish the painting and have that feeling you dont like it... Then everytime you walk up to it, it will stick out like a thorn!!
