I think if you go to paint one of the two (the two being either the mirror bases or the sails) you need to do both. They only seem to look right when they both are the same color and match. It pulls the look through. But then again I'm not partial to either of the two being painted any other color than black. To me it can kind of look cheesey and does not look OEM. Im anal when it comes to detail. thats my .02

yea i agree, i have a cleaner for those strips, but painting them body color, i think would look better, or at least black so when you wash and wax your car the trim is also painted so you can wax those also. shine them up

They don't need to be painted in order to be waxed - same as rubber trim. If they are waxed from early on before detorioration, then they will always look and feel brand new. Unfortunately, most people don't know/wax and the reach the point of no return.

IF people would use a sealant on the black peices adjacent to the windshield, they would not fade. 5+ years and mine still looked brand new when I sold it. 
I've actually been toying with the idea of painting my mirrors black on my Silver Frost. I think it would give the car a cleaner look, eliminating what right now is a silver piece kind of hanging in mid-air, if you get what I mean.
