You could always spray the B pillar as well to ensure a match.

Your problem, however, will be getting paint to stick to the chrome trim.

Might be better off buying some shadowline trim and replacing them. I'm sure I, or another Zoner could sell you a set!

I'm going to buy shadow line trim. Do you need to get the rear window as well? Mine are pop outs, and want to keep them.

Spook
Dead easy to remove if you are going the spray route. Show you Saturday when you buy the burgers and beer.
Thankyou.
