Hello listers,

I have a 1980 911SC that is mostly a track car, but I like to drive it on the street, and I take it to PCA functions and an occasional parking lot show and shine. I have re-painted the window trim several times with Rustoleum satin black. The color is fine, but it never lasts more than a year. I normally just do the door windows, but now the rear window trim is starting to peel also. How do I fix this? Is there a permanent solution that is not too expensive?

Thanks,

Don

Powder coating is very durable, but that requires removal of the pieces from the vehicle to apply.

Typicaly speaking, paint will not stick to chrome with positive results without a good prep that includes sanding and primer.
Your best bet is to remove them & do a 'proper' prep, or replace the parts with a black set.

When I back dated the rear 1/4 windows on my 84 I couldn't find a decent set of black frames. I ended up powdercoating a chrome set. They have lasted over 2 years w/o any problems (including fading, chipping, peeling, etc.)

Thanks Dan. Mine are not chrome. They are some sort of stainless that is dark, but not black. I think I'll disassemble them this winter and try a better repaint.
