The surround around the window frame is chrome plated originally - if painted black it is probably because the chrome has deteriorated. The exposed Fibre glass door panel inside the door shut areabetween the outer door skin and inner door trim panel was originally satin black on my S4.

The switch should operate hazard warning lights.
