Chrome Window trim??

12-26-2012, 01:28 PM

Can it be removed? I haven't spent a lot of time looking at it as I've been rebuilding the motor. Not a fan of it though.

I wasn't sure if its a cover over black trim or if the chrome is the final product. If so and I have to paint it:down:.......what would you guys recommend using so its durable and lasts a while. I have used SEM in the past, with proper prep would that be the best?

It covers the pinch welds. Removing it would bad. Spray it, call it a day.

Pulling it all off and having it powdercoated would be the most durable, but it's also the most expensive.

It not hard to pull it off. Look in the tech section accessed from the homepage for the howto on it.
