damienoliver Posted 15May, 2019 Report Share Posted 15May, 2019 Hello! I am looking to swap my black window/door trim for chrome on my 911SC. Before I pay for the new pieces, I thought I would check in case anyone here wants to go the other way? Cheers, Damo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 17May, 2019 Report Share Posted 17May, 2019 No, but it might be a cheaper option to have yours chromed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crsedge Posted 19May, 2019 Report Share Posted 19May, 2019 Or gently remove the black, they are all silver underneath- alloy I think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnage Posted 19May, 2019 Report Share Posted 19May, 2019 I think someone on here used a type of oven cleaner to remove the black anodised finish from window frames. Could have been MFX on his "Home Built" thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damienoliver Posted 20May, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 20May, 2019 Thanks guys, I might just stay with the black until I find a full chrome set. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damienoliver Posted 20May, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 20May, 2019 Awesome, thanks guys. I will look into converting my stuff. Yes, the upper door frames seem to be hard to find. Second hand is the only way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
