    Question Window Trim - Keep polishing? Or Back to Black?

    Ok now I have my car back I want to go back to fixing the window trim...

    So should I keep on chroming the trim (thinking of getting a buffer too) or just paint it black again?

    Heres some pics...

    keep going, see what it looks like all polished, if you dont like it, spray it black again. i reckon it will look good with the dark tint

    Yeah, keep polishing it. And when you're done can you come to Melbourne to finish off polishing my wheels?

    Keep polishing i say it looks sweet with the chrome and breaks away from the dark tint.

    What did ya do just rub the black off with a cut n polish or fine grade sand paper?

    Thanks guys I'll keep going with the polishing then

    I used paint stripper, a paint scraper and 3 grades of sandpaper followed by some Autosol metal polish.

    I've seen it white before on a VN Group 3, and didn't like it much at all. Not sure why, but black or chrome look better in my opinion
