Black Winshield Trim - Lateral-g Forums

BillyBobL71 · #1 07-29-2010, 05:20 PM

I would like my stainless window trim (windshield, back glass, quarter glass, etc.) to be a semi gloss black. Looks like I could paint it, or powder coat it. Question is would powder coating make it too thick to assemble? I worry about scratching the paint while assembling it.

No, rubber trim is not an option at this stage.

Thanks,
Bill

anondize it in bright black, it comes out satin black. there is a batch min. 130.00 but that would be 1 piece or a whole table full of stuffsame price.

Do you Anodize? I talked with someone about black anodizing my billet tailights black, and when asked them about my stainless windsheild trim, they told me they couldn't do stainless.

I'm liking powder coating, but will the added thickness create a problem when trying to assemble?

Anodize Stainless?

We sand it with 180, self etch prime it, semi flat black it, hold up great and 10 minutes to repair if a bug kills it.

You can anodize SS - but it is not durable and needs a protective coating.

Just do what Frank suggested - scratch it and paint it.
