chrome molding ??

[h22-accord]

I have a 90 coupe that need painted. and im thinking about painting my chrome molding that goes around the car and windshield what do U guy think or if U have pic please post it thank U

I've never seen that done, and probably for good reason. There is certain things that should be left alone on a car and that is one of them. I would say no on painting the chrome trim. But ultimately its up to u and if u think it'll be fly then I say handle ur biz.

You can remove the trim peices on the car just be EXTREMELY careful when doing so the clips are easily broken so take your time

i dont wanna take it off. im thinking about painting then the same color as my car

[FrostyCd5]

Just make sure they are sanded down enough and dont have any smoothnes left because that paint/primer will come right off if it does not have anything rough to stick to.

[h22-accord]

anybody done it before if so can i get pic thank u

Do it and then show us how bad it looks and tell us all not to do it.

i always wanted my moldings and trim in chrome

[GazaMiSeh]

when painting the chrome molding if you paint them flat black it will fade faster than say satin or gloss black

[F20A CB7]

gotta clear coat to prevent premature fade.

Painting over chrome is going to be difficult to make it stick. Even if you get it to stick, don't expect it to last very long.


To make it more permanent, replace it with DX windshield trim... they come black.

[crazymikey]

Then paint the black. Or just leave it black.
