WTB New chrome window trim?

[adamtnyc]

I'm getting my car painted and I'd like to replace the chromed aluminum window trim with new if possible. Anyone know a source who might still have it in stock?

Are you referring to the locking strip trim on the front and rear windows, or the side window trim?

[Herr Faust Schinken]

probably side window trim

however it looks like its NLA which sucks massive ass because i was going to pick up some new trim eventually as well

seems like a alot of work to replace all chrome trim. Chrome looks great when new, but all oxydized is lts awful. Today everything was taped off and trim was shot in matt black. DO IT RIGHT or eventually youll do it again and looks like shit in between. Self eching primer and 2000 grit paper go a long way. +1 on blackout

I have some in decent condition if your interested in used, then you can have one black set and one chrome if you paint one ;)

Couple of you guys are way off topic.

Op, I think you should get on touch with blunt tech. He'll know if they are still available

Thanks guys. I'll call Blunt Tech. Ideally I'd get new chrome trim. I like the look, but its seems NLA. Everyone says shadow line is the only stuff still in stock, but I can't find any of that either. What I don't want to do is mess up the perfect (albeit clouded) chrome trying to get it off.
I know it's anodized, but I wonder if I could leave it on and polish through the anodizing and to clean aluminum and then get a good shine out of that?

Just to let you know it is really hard to take the trim off without bending it. I took my sweet time moving bit by bit and I still ended up with some small bends.

I don't know how popular this idea is going to be... but you could take it off and have it re-chromed if you really like the look. I looked into it and it is not that expensive, but I ended up just going black so.
