Stupid question. My rear driver side widow trim is starting to flake off the black revealing the chrome underneath. Can/should I have it repainted or just buy new?

Thanks

Just touch it up. Replacing it requires replacing the rear windows and they require professional removal to get them out without shattering them.

I was just noticing mine needed some help also. Would you recommend sanding them completely down and taping off the windows and the car and completely repainting them or were you suggesting just paint what needs to be painted???

takes patient, but you might want to get trim the whole thing to chrome, I did to my front uooer trim and it does not look bad!

You have any pics of how it looks??? I kinda wanted to just have it black again.

I would just tape off the bad part and touch it up. Anything you repaint may not look the same or even last so it would suck if the ENTIRE trim started to fade, chip or peel.

If just the repaired area goes bad then you are just where you started before and you lose nothing.

i have the same problem. suggested paint to use?

Anything automotive grade. Preferred would be "TRIM BLACK" by SEM but that's usually only available at auto body supply stores. Try to use that.

If in a pinch, engine enamel available anywhere will do the trick, too.
