Chrome Window Trim (Not Pillars)...How To Remove?

[krunk_muzik]

So I was wondering is there anyway I can "de-chrome" the window trim that goes all around the windows, without using any kind of pin-stripe tape/tape? I was considering maybe painting it, but can I also just buy the part? What's the best way to go about this. Again, I'm not considering using tape/pin-stripe.

The trim is pretty easy to remove if you just pull the window seals down. You will see all of the screws and then you just gently pry them off of the door. I took mine off of my parts car and I am actually selling the trim for someone to do a project like you're doing. If you need more info I can get you some pics.

I need the pillars if you have those.

I am looking to dechrome the weather stripping - anyone know how? So far searching, including this thread, comes up with rather vague results.

Also, what's a good product or combo of products to take care of fading in the black of the stripping as well?

Talk to Rollin. He blacked out his with some sort of tape.

Plasti dip works as well.

Use 1/2" exterior vinyl tape from 3M. I have the part number at home if you need it.

^ Is that fairly durable stuff, adhesive and tear wise?

I'm all about plasti-dipping but damn the prep time can be brutal

if it tears, you pull off that small section, and redo it.


you will be able to do the entire car with tape in less time than just prepping for paint.
