Touch-up paint for window borders?
Wondering if anyone has ever touched up the "border" around the windows on a 3G TL?
I have a Silver '05, and between the front and rear doors (on each side) there is a very glossy black border, approx 3 inches on each door. I accidentally took a razor blade to one of them, putting a very light 5 inch scratch, vertically.
My friend got a good laugh, as it was the day after I got my car (I was using the razor to get the old inspection sticker off the windshield).
Anyone have to do touch-up on this "border"? Regular black touch-up paint?
Thanks!

If you do decide to replace them, try peeling off the black plastic covering on it and see how you like it. The TSX guys have a chrome finish underneath the plastic, maybe the TL is the same

Great idea. If I decide to replace it, I will peel the black off first to test your theory.

Zoo: yeah he is...and he trolls AZ, so if you're reading this JV, FU!
218: Thats what I did yesterday. I'd call it "less noticeable" than a scratch, but still visible.
