Cannot find Civic Part
I've had my car for a number of years and now have the money and time to do work to it. My probelm is the moldings on both doors are fading and peeling. I cannot find these parts either. The outerbelt molding has to be replaced because the rubber is peeling off, but i am wondering if the other pieces could just be painted when the car goes in for a new coat. Please let me know what I can do to replace or fix these parts.
the upper piece on the door itself is easy, with painters tape and news paper tape it all including the rubber part, leaving only the thin metal with the faded strip, and go to a local autoparts store and grab some Dupicolor Trim paint in black.
that will have that upper trim looking good as new.
for the bottom piece that has more of a coating on it, you could strip those back down as well and paint them, or replace with new from a dealer.
the rear door sash, the one going vertical, looks fine to me unless thats not a pic of your car.....
i don't see any reason why you couldnt repaint them as well, but again, you should be able to source those from a local honda dealer or a junkyard, if you prefer.
