Josh,
I was in on that thread awhile back. It was started January 28. Search for "Town Sedan window moulding". Here is the procedure I used and listed in that thread.

Thanks. I think I remember how I did it.
1. Spray on primer
2. Spray on Burgundy color enamel (I used Ace Premium enamel)
3. Hand brush black acrylic (from hobby shop)
4. Lightly brush with a dry paper towel until you get the texture you want. If you take off too much, apply some more acrylic and re-brush with towel. Don't let the towel get saturated - replace with a dry one. If careful, you can get the grain texture right up to the inside corners.
5. Final coat with auto clearcoat or spray clear enamel.
6. Hand rub to gloss finish.

As I remember that was how I did it. Remember, if you don't like it, start over or paint over it.

Have fun!. I look forward to seeing your results.

I highly recommend you give it a try. If it looks terrible, paint over it but if successful it looks so much better than plain paint.
