Re: Touch up paint for lower black side moldings??

Don't use paint. Use black automotive vinyl "pin strip tape". I had a guy that restored stainless trim give me this hint back in the early 90's when I was getting ready to paint my burb. 26 years later it looks as good today as it did the day I installed it. Paint will never do that. Back then I found a guy that details cars for dealers and he custom slit the widths I needed for the moldings. I trimmed everything long enough to get 3" of wrap around the back side and have had no shrinkage or delaminating in all these years.
