Hey Everyone,
My roof trim on my 850 is all cracked and peeling off, what type of paint should be used on the roof trim?
Thanks.

There are a bunch of different techniques but I just use Duplicolor black bumper paint - so far so good. Others have used black electrical tape but I never felt like that would last. I think we have several threads pinned in the database.
