The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network - View Single Post - OEM paint method? How to tell if it is factory paint.

did they use 2-sided tape on the trim back then? or was it strictly clips? I found that at least on the passenger side, there is 2-sided tape to suplement the clips. But even so, that doesn't necessarily mean it was painted.

aAnd speaking of the seals.. I looked, and looked, no overspray, I even pulled up on the seals and looked underneath and there are no lines.. I pushed up the rear window seal, still, no paint lines, only yellowed paint. As it stands, the white is bright, but I think that was brought out with the buff.
