Looks Great!

I used the same Duplicolor Black Trim Paint as well and it looked great when I first did it but a couple of months later it faded and retained water spots that wouldn't come out.

Let us know how it holds up. I repainted mine with regular Satin Black paint after that and it seemed to hold up a little better.

Maybe I got a bad can of it or something????

Let's hope it holds up! That was a PITA sanding all that **** down, to just have to do it again in a couple months. If so, oh well.. I'll use regular paint and do it all over again.

Looks good, now just get rid of that pinstripe.


















































Had to give you a hard time after reading you vs lawyer on the other thread. Looks great, I may just go that route instead of spending several hundred dollars in new moldings, it will depend on how yours holds up.

lol... The pin strip isn't coming off. Glad you don't like it, but I don't mind it. It's been on since 90, and taking it off now would surely make a difference in paint color, even though the paint looks great... it would still be more new under that strip.

Just giving you a hard time about the stripe, it's not that I dont like it, my 91 has one. It will be gone after it hits the paint shop but it goes well for now.

I figured you were just givin' me a hard time. I actually really like it cause it breaks up the color more... I dunno. Maybe because I've never seen in it 15 years without it?
