If your vent windows are anything like mine, the black trim piece and the small bracket on the outside of the vent window (the one that held the 1st rivet we removed) were no longer black, but rusty and ugly. I used a metal brush, lacquer thinner and a scouring pad to remove the rust and prep the metal for some SATIN black paint.

NOTE OF CAUTION, ONLY USE THE LACQUER THINNER TO CLEAN THE SURFACE AFTER YOU HAVE WIRE BRUSHED. IT IS POSSIBLE A SPARK FROM THE WIRE BRUSH COULD IGNITE THE LACQUER THINNER IF YOU USED IT BEFORE WIRE BRUSHING!!!.

Some people have used gloss black, and it will work, but the trim came from the factory as a satin black. Personal preference I guess.













Once cleaned and prepped, tape off the pieces you do not want paint on.



You can see I painted the outside trim and the smaller bracket.
