Default Whats this called, & can I buy a new one?

This part on my civic is peeling off leaving the bare silver metal under it showing. Its some sort of tape-like strip. Does anyone know what its called and where I can get some?

Ya I guess I can just paint it, Im sure that little tape layer isnt a big deal. Im getting the car painted in sept, Ill just let them peel the rest off and paint over it.

when i get the time and repaint a bunch of things, i plan on removing them and painting them with either a light wrinkle coat or a flat/low gloss black.
