Default No more chrome window trim

Been wanting to get rid of the Chrome molding around my windows as it was scratched up and it just to me looked out of place so this is what I got done

This is before as you can see all the chrome moldings

Hope you scuffed and primed the moulding before you rattle canned it. If not, youll be redoing it in about 6 months as the paint will start to blister and peel. Youll want to hit the chrome with some 220 grit so the primer and paint will have something to "bite" to. Looks good though. I love those early '80s Camaros. Dont be offended by this but is that a real Z28 or a clone?

Hello, yes for sure I scruffed up the chrome and primed it all. Did not post all the step by step pics. Just the more less before and after pics. The car is a 1980 Camaro R/S (Z/28 Clone) also my username lol

I like it in black i always thought it was odd the only chrome on those camaros was the window trim and door handles.
