Subject:Re: Is it safe to pull out the chrome window strips?

Why bother to pull them out? Mine were slightly cracked which let the
chrome get rusty & ugly. Just go to your local hobby store and get some
Model Master flat black enamel paint, thin it about 70% paint, 30% thinner
and brush on a few coats of the black paint. Unless you are up clse and
nit-picking - the 'ugly chrome window strips" magically vanish and you have
euro black window rubber. Cost is about $4.00 versus a bunch more.
