I don't know if he's serious or not, but I'll say that such an idea works.   

I have a black and gray L-shaped desk in my office (one of those particle board + screws + cams + dowel deals) that had some damage to the corner/one edge.  About 4 years ago I stretched some black electrical tape aroud the corner to cover where the black edge was all scraped up and it's still hanging in there.  Additionally, if I didn't know it was there, I don't think I'd ever notice.  The key would be to do it all in one pass so you don't have any breaks in it along the way.

I noticed that Krylon has a new plastic paint in many colours you might want to try that then you don't need to prime.

I think you misunderstood. I think he is trying to avoid t-molding altogether, not trying to change its color. Plastic paint won't do any good on the wooden cab edges.

if he uses the plastic "L" safety corner moling then he can use that paint...
