The trim on my car window on my passenger side has the black paint flaking off. I cannot think of a better way to explain it. But it bothers me. And I'm wondering if it's possible to take off and re-paint. And if so, does it need a special paint or can I just use black rattle can and then clear it?

Here's a photo from my ride.

i would try using plasti-dip. comes in a can, you probably can sand off the rest of that stuff that's left on the trim and spray a few coats of plasti-dip. will cover it good and give a nice matte finish.

otherwise, I would look for some OEM/OEM-style trim paint, but you will have to prep beforehand, maybe even primer.

 

Same thing happen on my 92 civic. Just take it off and paint that ****.

 

Take a heat gun to your old window trim and get the black coating warm and it peels off like plasti-dip and prime the bare metal under that and just spray it with duplicolor trim paint matches really close if not spot on to the factory coating.

Never had a problem with it fading on me like regular rattle can either.

 

These window moldings are still available from Honda. Just buy the part new. I have used that paint on my old trim and it looks ok from a few feet away but otherwise looks ghetto and cheap. Restore it the right way.

 

I had the same issue. I was going to buy new ones, but when I went in to my local honda parts department, they were something like $100 a side. You can't really sand off the old stuff because it's rubberized. I just scraped it off anf then sanded the metal a little and went over it with plasti dip. It's similar to the original finish and if you take your time, it's a pretty good solution and much cheaper.

 

Get them new. Will look much better, they are a bit expensive maybe. They come with the clips, so no need to worry about the old ones.

 

Rattle can if your on a budget and want a decent turnout...if you got the extra change do this ^^^^

 

Me with extra change? Bro that's a myth. I never have money. I'll look into plasti-dip for the moment and see where it runs. I have a business to run too. Drives me nuts that that takes finance priority. And I'll prolly do both sides so they look even. Type A problems, yo.

 

I used this brand when I painted my valve cover. And for rattle can, I loved the way it sprayed. It was full and even. And easy to spray with my pistol grip.

 

So I was chipping off the old paint today and saw that the trim itself is chipped and missing pieces, not just the paint going bad. So I will need to just buy a new one. Where did you get yours? Dealer or factory?

 

I ordered these at the dealership

 

Get on honda parts unlimited they will be cheaper than a stealership.

 

I called the closest Honda dealership and they said $85.
