trim around back glass
 

is my best bet to sand and paint it. its pretty bad

I'm about to, but I sure wish I knew how to take it off the truck so that I could lay the paint down good and thick with it laying horizontal.

It is bolted and glued into the body, so it will definitely be less work to just tape off around it.

If it's not terribly rough you should sand and paint. If you have some deep gouges your should throw in some body filler to fill the gaps, then sand and paint.

Be sure to do some good prep work if you want it to last.

Many thanks: you confirmed my worst fear! lol
Well, I'm off to the laneway to get started this morning. Thanks again.

No problem. Hate to be the bearer of bad news! I'll be painting my window trim also very soon.

I taped mine off sanded used some spray primer and a rattle can of trim paint looks nice, not oem but damn nice and quick

Same here. Scuffed with 240 grit, prime, glazing putty, block sanded to 600 grit, Dupli-Color Trim Paint (3 coats), Dupli-Color Clear Coat (2 coats) - Look'n Fine! I was so pleased with the trim paint that I did the grill too! Then I color matched my Bowtie. Eastbound and down....

Do you have any pics of how the trim turned out?

I wish I had some before shots for you, but I wasn't thinking. Anyway, we all know what it looks like - bad, bad pitting, contrasting that awful, sun faded, grey colour.

I did the roof rack with the same stuff immediately afterward, so I'll put a shot of that in as well.

Let me know if you like it - if not, leave my sensitive ego alone! lmao

...and here's a bonus shot or two, just for askin' lol :icon_cake::icon_cake:

youre paint
 

turned out very good, I didnt do so much to mine. looks great compared to were it was for sure, but if you get up close still a little pitted, roof rack is next may redo my glass just didnt wanna go to much into it until i made sure it worked. but youres looks good
