When I first bought my truck, I ordered a set from the dealer already painted. Don't remember the price but it wasn't bad.

I need to paint them again because they faded from bright white to yellowish. I'll get the PW7 and the clear coat paint from automotivetouchup.com in spray cans.

Now that you mention it, my door moldings are no longer a nice white color. I thought it was just gunk that wasn't coming off when it was washed but it may be time for a repaint.

[:@] I just put my truck in the shop a week ago because some other contractor working on my site couldn't pull in beside me in a realatively empty construction lot without sliding his bumper along the right rear bed, the post between the bed and the passenger door. (sorry no photos)

The truck should be repaired by Friday, (10 days) and look as good as new. In prep for the paint I had to take off the rack, rails and the lights because of the metalic paint. I checked with a local dealer for the molding in the quad cab chrome and he quoted $141.75 a tax.

The body shop, (separate from the dealer) stated that he sees too many doors on trucks that are damaged by others. If we had the moldings it would cut down much of his cosmetic work on 4X4's.

I priced them out from Parts/Service. PM him or give him a call. It is worth it!
