Not shure about the right name for these parts, but they go horizontally under the side window glass. They were faded, cracked, scratched & one of them was startin to peal.
This picture shows all of tools I used.


I sanded away most of the cracks & scratches. Used sandpaper 340, 800, 1000.
The one in the picture was the worst shaped one, with a pealing plastic. What I did is that I lifted the black rubery coating & applied fiberglas under, then wrapped that part with tape so that it would stick. Sanded the part, applied more fiberglass & so on.

I bought this vinil tape at my local auto-design store. Its flat black, but they have many colors. There is eaven a carbon fiber paper.

& the final product vs. an undone one.
total cost: & $12.00 for the paper, the rest of the materials I had in the garage.
total work time: about 2 hours between cleaning sanding & pasting.

looks good, and good idea.

what mil is the vinyl?

mill?

How thick is it?

I dont know the thicknes, but is the one that they make letters & stickers with.

I found some matte black on ebay. I may have to give that a try.

Ok I bought it. and theres plenty for us local 2000+ guys to do at the next meet

Thanks for the tip Alex

Oh, can we see what it looks like on the car?

Did you only do the bottom trim? Mine doesn't look bad, but I'm sure the trim above the window is going to look bad also after a while, and I'm curious if the vinyl will work with that bend in the trim on the top.
