door edge protectors

do they make those little rubber/vinyl/plastic/whatever they are strips that u put on the edges of ur doors to protect it from chipping if u open it and ding something, in silver to match my paint? i really hate those things, dont really want black becuase they'll stand out, but jeez, the paint on these cars chips so easily, i BARELY touched my door opening it a few times on the garage door and it puts little chips in my paint.

just a warning! when i removed mine (because they were falling apart) they left marks behind. every time you open and close the door the edges of the strips move against the paint. it sounds crazy and i wish i had a picture. it was rubbed down to the primer on the inside of the door. and the outside still has a visible line all the way down the door.(not glue)

no problem i know seen alot of cars with them. but the same thing happened to my moms trailblazer with the paint. maybe because the paint is so "soft"? tomorrow morning i will take a pic(if i remember) to show you
