Does anyone know what color the trim around the rear window was from the factory? Mine is a light grey right now, but i can't tell if it used to be black, or dark grey. Also, is there a way to get that off to paint it without taking the windshield out too?

 

Tape it off and paint it with plasti dip. I just did this and will post before and after pictures tomorrow.

 

Trust me tape it off ues with enougj elbow grease an cussin u can get the trim off but i wont get it back on unless u take window i know from experince. I wanted my painte got it off and painted and could not get it back on so had to take whole window out. But on plus side it looks real good now that i painted it all black with krylon ffusion



This is a lic not best but ya get idea what it lolks like painted blac

 

I taped my window trim and bed rails off and painted them black. Gives it a "new" look! I would just paint them, not plasti dip, because your not going to want to take it off anytime.

 

Do NOT remove that plastic rim for the window - many members here reported that they introduced a leak by breaking the seal. Tape off, and use a couple of coats of Krylon Fusion, and for less than $6, it'll be as good as new!
Here are the before and after.

 

Before Plasti-Dip



After Plasti-Dip and Night Shades for 3rd brake light

 

That came out GREAT! Smoother than the Fusion I sprayed on. But, ANYTHING beats that faded grey we had.

 

Thanks. I still need to touch up the bottom but I ran out. It doesn't look that good until it dries, and then it starts to smooth out.

I need to work on the brake light too. Needs wet sanded

 

Is that a toolbox on your tailgate?

 

I put LEDs in mine, but they wouldn't be bright enough to overcome the plasti-dip. By doing that, you saved at least $60 or so to have that effect. Good Job!
