    Window trim removal help

    I wanted to see if there was anybody who was experienced with removing all the window trim. I painted it black on the car and now its peeling badly, so I want to take it off completely and paint it the right way. I am in the puyallup/tacoma area. If anybody is willing to help let me know!

    I would take it in to guardline and vinyl wrap it matte black. That way you don't ever have to worry about it peeling. I'm gathering a group of e30's that would want to do it, and he said he could give us a special.

      I'd be interested in that ^.
      I did the same as the OP and it's pissing me off. Except that I had the trim off when I painted it. Did it with trim black and it's all starting to come off.

            I also like the vinyl idea. A friend of mine has vinyl tape on his lower trim and it looks good. I think you have a group now Zfever. Let me know a price when you find out.

              Does the vinyl have to be some type of certain auto vinyl like they use to wrap cars? Or can it be like regular matte black sticker vinyl?

                There is a DIY on this site if you search.

                      I'll get ahold of guardline and find out pricing. I'll get back to you guys and I'll start a new thread and we'll begin a list.
