gday, i'm thinking about painting all the window pillars (the white parts on the doors around the windows) to black like the calais. Looks sweet with nice dark tinted windows. What you guys think? Also, how would i go about doing it? Any help much appreciated. cheers max.

as soon as i have the money to get a Group A SS kit, fibreglass and paint. I'm planning on painting mine silver with black pillars. I've already done the drawings, as long as don't mess up the paint job, it should look well wicked.

yeah looks good, but is a pain in the arse to sand and mask up. i used matt black paint and clear coat. did it a year ago using good quality spraycan paint and it still looks good. on another note; i am wanting to make my chrome window surrounds black like on the ss - any ideas on how i would go about doing that?

Get them painted in 2pak black. It will come up trick, much better than acrylic. I've seen the outcome and it's great. does so much for the car.
