Its not "chrome" its stainless steel. Don't worry you won't go thru it.

If you do this should you worry about protecting the stainless at all? Maybe clear coat?

Also are there any pictures of this done on a white soarer?

Just curious: Why did toyota make this part of the car out of stainless? Were they concerned about rings, finger print acids etc....

I'm guessing that the pillar was originally designed to be a bright S/S look and then someone changed the spec to paint.
Toyota/Lexus when designing their rival to the European Marques went to considerable effort to limit and prevent metal corrosion.

Ok well as you know I bought a second soarer for parts and so I tryed this technique. Used paint stripper which revealed a chromey silver with a dull finish.

To make it look like the stock V8 trim around the windows this dull finish under the black paint would have to be sanded back a little bit to reveal and expose a nice sexy shiny silver after cleaning.

Are you talking about the surround Joshua or the B pillar? My b pillar come up real shiny when I removed the paint. As for the surround I don't think it's stainless underneath unless what I have unearthed is a layer of primer but I don't see why they would have primered the surround and not the b pillar.

yeah I've tried the same thing on the surround (not the middle black part) but i think they are not stainless steel and they came out grey. can it be sanded to expose as like the result of stainless steel?

I didn't need to polish my b pillar, it came out real shiney. I also stripped the surround and I exposed what could be primer but no matter how much stripper I put on it, it didn't come off. I personally think it's a bit much for a green soarer but will look good on some cars.
