No more blackout between the windows

[Silver Ranger 1]

I would just tape over/as close as possible. Just make sure to remove the tape before it is fully set.

Thanks and understood. It stinks to have to do this to a new truck.

Plasti-Dip spray completed. A few imperfections, but overall looks good. We’ll see how it holds up over time.

Thanks for your ideas and advice. I expected the Plasti-Dip to have a rougher texture, but it feels very similar to the texture of the pillar decal that is still on the driver side. I don’t think anyone but me will ever notice there is a decal on one side, and Pasti-Dip in the other side.

I prefer the blacked out pillars, but I think it would look better in a gloss black. It would fit in a lot better with tinted front windows.

Gloss would just be a fingerprint covered mess. They seem to have chosen a really good material.

I did gloss vinyl on my Mazda and it’s no problem all. You are right though, it really shows if you close the door using that area but it doesn’t take long to get used to closing it with the handle or painted area.

If I close it on the paint then I get fingerprints on the paint. One of my other cars has a glossy black surface, so I hate it from experience. The stuff on the ranger is perfect for closing the door quickly without needing a lot of accuracy or drama.

Did you ever change these to gloss black? I will be going in for tinted windows in the New Year and thought I would have them do this.

These little guys would probably do the trick.

(heavy sarcasm) I just checked their website. They have them for Fiat, Mazda, Corvette, but not for a 2019 Ranger.....

I just close the door using the textured black plastic part, works great.

I haven’t got around to it yet. Maybe in the spring!

Has anyone done this to a black truck? Was wondering if having glossy black pillar looks better than the matte black plastic. I'm thinking it would.

Just found this post and I’m now wondering the same thing. My truck has a little scrape by the door. No idea how it got there but it does look black under there. Hmm ? may try to pull it off. There’s a chip in my paint right around there too.
