The other day I was hauling some metal bed frames for this guy and I accidentally got a little 1.5 inch scratch on the plastic molding around the back window. Does anyone know where to get paint to touch this up that matches? It is the gray paint. I don't know if its available but thought I would ask. I am not sure if it makes a difference, but I have a 1998 F-150 XLT with a solid back window (non-sliding).

 

No "touch-up" available.

If you're going to paint, your going to have to paint the entire surround. (Can be a good thing!)

In the meanwhile, try your favorite dressing/protectant to see if that will help hide the damage.

Painted mine black with Krylon Rust Tough semi-gloss black. It's the best thing I ever did for the looks on the back of the truck. That grey frame is soooo Fugly, lol!,,,,,98

 

Do you remove it to paint it and how?

 

I got so feed up with the ugly fading grey that I bought a can of spray paint, taped the truck off, and painted it! Best looking mod I have done so far and I figured that if I messed up I was going to have to buy a new molding anways!

You can kind of see it in this pic:

 

On mine I wet sanded the frame with 400 grit paper, masked off the window and outer body panels, and shot it with 3 or 4 coats of the Krylon. It's over a year old now, and no signs of fading at all.,,,,98

 

So the answer is you don't remove it...
it looks like it's just clipped on somehow.

 

For now I just got out the gray sharpie marker and colored in the scratch of the plastic so that I did not have to look at the white scratch every day, and am gonna live with that for now, don't really have time to paint it all and the weather is getting kinda cruddy here in Iowa now where I go to school. Thanks for your input though guys.
