Hello all,

Quick question about my new (ok, new to me) 86 4kcsq:

On the outside of the car around the windows, there are some trim peices
that appear to have been black from the factory.

In some spots just below the rear door windows the black is coming off or
flaking.  Next, there appears to be a corner trim piece in the lower
rear-most corner of the back door window that is completely shiny now.  I
believe that all of these trim peices are aluminum, but I'm not sure.

Can anyone tell me if these corner pieces are supposed to be all black and
what the best solution (what kind of paint or preparation) is necessary to
get them looking like the "engineers" intended them to look like?

I'd imagine that this is a common problem...it kind of bugs me and makes the
car look a little ratty.


Thanks in advance...

Elliott
