A previous owner had a bad paint job done and they hit the trim with a buffer or sander in a few places it looks like. I&#039;ve tested using plastidip on the trim with great results. However if the trim is made of stainless that I can re-polish I would prefer to do that. Sorry if this has been covered before but search turned up nothing and I can&#039;t remember where I read about the trim before. Since I&#039;m about to pull the windows out for a proper paintjob I thought it would be the best time to do something about the trim.<br /> <br /> ----<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Z_Karma:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;small&gt;(2013-12-12 17:05:00)&lt;/small&gt;<br /> <br /> It is stainless steel.<br /> <br /> Make sure and grab a bag of trim clips as well, you&#039;ll break a few on the removal.<br /> <br /> ----<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;FlyingT:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;small&gt;(2013-12-12 18:42:30)&lt;/small&gt;<br /> <br /> Why not get it powder coated? Much more durable than paint. I think the trim looks much better black<br /> <br /> ----<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Raven:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;small&gt;(2013-12-12 18:48:55)&lt;/small&gt;<br /> <br /> Thanks Z_Karma. Any advice on those clips? The ones I see on Courtesy Parts show as unavailable. Does all the window trim use the same clips or are they going to be specific depending on the area.<br /> <br /> ----<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Raven:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;small&gt;(2013-12-12 19:26:39)&lt;/small&gt;<br /> <br /> FlyingT, I considered it but I honestly couldn&#039;t make up my mind on what I wanted. Since the plastidip I tested on one of the quarter trim pieces has been holding up great in all weather I figure that I can just re-polish the trim and then should I decide to go black I can always plastidip it again.<br /> <br /> ----<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;reddzx:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;small&gt;(2013-12-13 13:59:36)&lt;/small&gt;<br /> <br /> Kevin (88hybrid) used black vinyl on his NA trim.<br /> <br /> ----<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;G-E:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;small&gt;(2013-12-15 01:20:03)&lt;/small&gt;<br /> <br /> Thats not a bad idea actually…</div>
