Yellowing of Black between chrome and rear window?
Hi,
On my '07, the black part between the chrome trim and rear window has yellowed and I was wanting to know if anyone else has had this problem and a good way of fixing it. I didn't know if anyone has tried to repaint it.
Its hard to see in the picture but if you look right next to the strip you can see it doesn't look right.

Looks like it has just yellowed from being in the sun. The black grill on my S10 pickup did the same thing.
The one on the right is worse than the one on the left. The one on the left has only yellowed on the top part right next to the chrome trim.

i noticed this as well this weekend while detailing my car.. along with a lot of small chips in my paint that had spots of rust forming :/ but that's another issue. Like twenty eggs suggested plastidip worked well for someone else here on the forums in another post about the chrome roof strips.
I was thinking of seeing if I could sharpie it (ghetto) and see how well that would stay until I got around to it.
