The cheaper ones from LMC, the molded ones, fasten with bolts that go thru the arm rest, then thru door panel, and then use nuts/washers on the back side, giving a great and solid feeling mount. They look to be easily paintable--altho' they do not come apart. [Mine came in black, which suited my interior quite well.] Their sturdiness really surprised me. No more pulling away from the door panel with the externally-mounted ones.

However, with a bit of imagination, 2-tone-painting these molded/polyurethane(?) ones should be an easy task, even with a novice painter.

Just a fyi, and good luck.
