need help on black plastic piece between

Zsteve · 11-08-2009, 06:07 PM

the back window and the front window. My black plastic piece has mad swirls on it. Can I get them out like you do with the regular paint? Im thinking of just getting it painted blue too but not sure how it would look. Can anyone do a pic of it that way?

There's a lot of black pieces between the back window and front window... Which one are you talking about?

$77 each for the B pillar. Cheaper to go with Carbon fiber there (or paint)

lol B-pillar. i was thinking the rear glass and the winshield.

anyway, you can use mild paint polish to remove swirls. i used griot's Polish3, but most cheepo polishes like scratch-x will work. use a foam pad.

when you wipe off the polish though, make sure you use a fluffy MF towel and some QD or spray-type waxes...otherwise you'll end up swirling it again. wax afterwards.

^^^^ wat he said

haha

its the plastic on the outside piece that is between the back side window and the front side window. Not sure if thats the b pillar or not that you all mention. I will try using polish like on regular paint but I wasnt sure if it was black paint and clear coat on it or not. Do you all think it will look good the same color as the car?

JDM_ED · 11-09-2009, 07:16 PM

Yep, he's refering to the B-Pillar. Mine's the same way too. I guess it's the fact that it's gloss painted because usually they're matte. Carbon fiber overlays would be the best way to get rid of the problem. I just don't care that much. Still, it's just one more Z paint problem. I don't even want to mention how my front bumper and hood are already...

Zsteve · 11-09-2009, 07:22 PM

I really dont like the CF look so I wont be going that way. I might just get it painted the same color as the car. But first I will try to polish it and see how that goes.

It breaks up the the window opening into small pieces. I can't say I like it, but people have done worse things to their cars.

simota1 · 11-09-2009, 10:12 PM
