    Question Looking for picture of door and how gray paint was applied, 1985

    I'm rebuilding my old 85 5L and the car is now painted. We're applying the gray paint for trim and I need a detail picture of the door window surround. As I recall that was painted gray but I need to know where it started and stopped. Anyone have a 85 or 86 LX 5L or GT they could through a picture up of the door?

    I think the entire door window surround was painted gray outside and in.

    The body has some gray paint on the pillar that I've already sorted out. I have that pictured.

    Ron, I redid the grey trim on my 86 SVO last year.

    These are the only pictures I have right now. Not sure if they help or not.

    Thanks for those!

    On the coupes, did the small side widows surrounds get painted gray too?

    82GT,
    What paint did you use and how well did it match?

    Thanks

    Matthew,

    The work I did is covered in this thread: http://vb.foureyedpride.com/showthre...=1#post1808213

    I had bought the "SVO trim" paint from LMR a few years ago but once I started noted I wasn't going to have enough. Plus it is not easy to get here through the one supplier that deals with them here in Canada where I live.

    I went with the SEM Charcoal which was readily available at the body shop supply store I use. Next time though I will buy the paint mixed rather than rattle can. There are a few threads which talk about the "right" color and mixing it if you search.

    Here are the two products. I went with the SEM (which I ended up thinking was a better match anyways):
