[s-cars] sstl window trim

[Harold McComas]

I have a little too much chrome on my 2004 Passat and I can already see 
spots, Auto car washes with the chemicals are the devil.  So been looking at 
my options. Bought black out tape when I had my S6, just never got around to 
installing it.

Patrick, you mentioned restore, so something along the lines of this: 
http://www.bavauto.com/shop.asp  look for part number : 07500100002, 
aluminum trim deoxidizer.

Just to give you a couple of other options...

There is plasti-dip in a spray can, yes it is removable ( my comments in 
thread = Germanguy):

Another one I have been thinking about, black chrome anyone?  They recently 
came out with "smoke" : http://www.duplicolor.com/products/metalcast.html 
I have used their red on my old TSW Evos which had faded red center, nuts. 
Came out nice. Guessing for window trim you might want to use their adhesion 
promoter  CP 199, clear  primer and "...provides great adhesion when 
painting plastic, fiberglass, bumpers and aluminum trim moulding."
