Re: Door Frame Piant >> MIKE !!

Thanks so much Sandy! I will relay the info!

Now I have another question. Being that that says it is a "flat
grey". What is the correct sheen on the pillars/door frame/roof
line? Is it supposed to be flat? Or is that are supposed to be
glossy while the exterior mouldings like around the windshield or
hatch or sail panel supposed to be flat?

I was looking at a few cars and the area around the window frame on
the door which whould be dark charcoal looks about like the same
sheen as the rest of the car which is glossy.

I'm afraid that if I have the trim painted with no clear coat, the
unibody area around the door's window is going to look odd against
the basecoat/clearcoat blue.
