sill trim

190+ · 7th August 2019, 12:31

I washed my car today.
When i was washing the sill the trim between the bottom of the door and the sill started to peel leaving a chrome finisher underneath.
Should i remove the paint to expose the chrome (with what?) or repaint it ?

Thanks in advance for any guidence.

Just fit 75 ones, far easier.

Depends on personal preference whether you want 'bright' finishers (they are actually stainless steel), or body coloured ?

If you want bright, then as Trikey says, easiest is to swap a set from a 75, they are identical size.

But if you want body coloured, then remove, rub down and respray, or obtain a spare set and paint those.

I have toyed with the idea of getting them wrapped if i could find the right colour ?
