Thumbs up Finally got around to posting pics

Here is my 2000 S70 GLT SE. Anybody have any great ideas for refinishing the roof trim? I'm thinking Plasti Kote....

170,000 miles, no real upgrades other than OEM fog lights, aftermarket radio head unit and 10% tint all around. Just focused on mechanical work since I bought her 3 years ago. Runs great, cold A/C and very dependable.

I would buy new roof trim if everything else is in good enough shape. Some people have painted them with bumper paint, bed-liner paint, etc. I like the smooth finish. It's hard to get anything to stick to that aliminum good.

Muuch nicer than before, if you use plastiDip, it'll eventually peel off like what my car is doing.

What i'm gonna do in the future when I take them off is hit them with gray primer, then flat black paint..
