"and just paint them black."

that's what i did, mine weren't 'dull chrome' they
were 'bright rust orange'. model airplane paint works
well.

and my windsheid seems to be lacking it's chrome
strip,... and it hasn't fallen out yet.. so... i dunno
really, i'd rather have it, just painted black.

anyone know of a good paint to paint the metal frame
around the sliding windows in the center of the
vanagon? the surrounding chrome on all the other
windows is painted black and this one chrome spot
sticks out like a sore thumb,so to speak.
