Side Molding and Trim After Painting or Not?

[PlayingWithTBI]

Looks great, I really like the color!

Thanks, it has something in it that changes the hue in different light, maybe a pearl or the metallic flakes have something to do with it? FYI I did go with the 50430 no-name

68 is a great year, must be the year for restoring these great trucks and Happy Birthday from another old fart who recently turned 68 and redid his 93 .

OK now I have to get the side trim, it does look nice with the wheel arcs and all. Mine doesn't have the hooks in the lower valence though.

Yeah, the bump strips finish the look IMO, otherwise I would have gone totally naked but, I wanted some protection against door dings, ha ha. I know the wheel arches saved a lot, the old ones were beat up quite a bit.

Thanks, it's a late, mid-life life crisis thing

Damn! I hoped you had more input - maybe your favorite metallic blue?

Dodge Viper blue looks good on everything!

I don't know what the name is. It's Sherwin Williams 50430, ha ha

I know I looked at what they are getting for new trucks and said Oh Hell no, not paying $50,000 for a new truck, and realized i had the perfect truck already. I just had to freshen it up a bit. I ordered the trim and some new outside door window rubber, so should be good to go here soon.

Cool, post it up when you get it.

I will do that seems to take a week or so to get stuff from LMC, I didn't think Kansas was all that far away. I also ordered oversize door pin bushings since I replaced with the Dorman ones and the top bushing broke then fell out. Now the door is worse than before. I called the dealer, but $91 a side for door pins and bushings is a bit much. I could have them made for less. The oversize bushing have received good reviews, so I ordered both 20 and 10 over just to be safe. Going to be replacing the door rubber, door glass I already sourced, new outside handle, along with the bushings and new trim. I should have a nice busy weekend.

new outside handle

Yeah, I did the passenger side door handle with a Dorman one - what a POS! It didn't fit right and it's already coming loose
