I apologize in advance if my question has been answered previously. My 73 has black trim at the rear sail edge and at the rear edge of the window and at the engine grille. One contributor mentioned that these were anodized. Question: How can I duplicate that color without removing the parts and re-anodizing?
Thanks Dunc. |

One contributor mentioned that these were anodized. Question: How can I duplicate that color without removing the parts and re-anodizing? Thanks Dunc. I have a non-appearance group 73 2.0L and am not convinced the black trim was anodized. When I stripped my rear targa trim to refurbish, I found black paint over bright anodized metal. SEM satin trim black was pretty much a perfect match to how they looked when I got the car. The caveat is that I'm not the original owner of the car and it did get a cheap respray in the early 80s so can't say for certain they were original when I found them. However, considering the crappy quality of the paint job and the screws driven through the rear roll bar trim instead of properly replacing the hidden mounting clips, I don't think the trim had gotten much love before I got the car. |

Thanks for all the input. Since I am not too concerned with originality, I think painting the trim to match the engine lid grille is the best option for me. |
