RE: [SPAM] pillar trim removal

Jim,

The '82 and "83 and possibly the '84 cars came from the factory with that
pillar painted body color. I personally like both looks. As far as on a
black car I would get rid of the vinyl and go with paint.  I have never
removed to see the quality of the paint underneath.  It is just a preference
thing, but I have always looked at it as an age of the car thing.

Good morning:

I figured the list was down this weekend, or just really slow...I guess we
were all watching and wondering about it...

Anyhoo, my 16V's black vinyl B pillar and door trim is pretty beat.  I'm not
sure I want to replace it.  I have the chemicals and patience to remove it
and shine up the paint underneath, but is the paint under there usually up
to snuff?  I've seen a few pics of "converted" ones but I wasn't sure
whether or not they were repaints.  Any suggestions?

Also, what's your vote on vinyl vs naked?  This is a black car.

TIA

Jim
