If they're from your signature car ('72T), they should be anodised alumininium, not chrome ...

Nick - just checking....my MY 71 has chromed front window frames - is it different for a Targa?

[Lightweight_911]

Yes (although I'm not Nick) ...

[Nick Moss]

Targa? What's that?

All pre-74 Targas have chromed brass door frames, door caps and rear window base trims.

Thanks. They must be anodised aluminium then I love this forum Nick. I'll be in touch .

Good. Got all of those bits. We use shiny as a way of distracting the viewer from the roof profile. I think it works rather well.

On my 911 T year 1970 all door frames and window frames had been painted in black: what product shall I use toremove paint without damaging anodised aluminium below?? Thanks

I'm interested in what to use, as PO has done the same to my 72 T door and window frames, a bit has flakes off and original finish underneath looks good, any ideas on removal of black paint, thinners?, paint stripper?, nylon scraper?...........cheers Mark..

It's very difficult to damage anodising, except for caustic soda or dichloromethylene. Normal paint strippers are fine, but be wary of industrial strippers, which should not be available in the retail market.
