Herb,
As I recall the trim around the windows is actually polished/painted stainless steel. I've restored several 200 side window trims by repainting them with Trim Black. It's an aerosol paint you can find at body and paint supply shops. On my trim I've not had a lot of peeling or chipping ... just wear. I clean the trim with Prep-all degreaser (also available at auto paint supply stores)then lightly sand the trim with a 1200 grit wet/dry sand paper. (You may have to do more agressive sanding if the surface has a lot of peeling-you may also need to prime the trim after heavy sanding)Then I clean it with Pre-pall one last time... mask the windows, doors and roof (using masking tape and panels of news paper) Then give the trim at least two light top coats of Trim Black. Wait for the Trim Black to dry. (at least one hour) and remove the masking. Repaiting the trim really improves the look of an old Brick and I've found it's as durable as the original trim finish. The tape along the the top edge of the door beneath the window trip can be replaced. Or you can completely remove it ... prep the surface and paint it with Trim Black as well. Hope this helps ... good luck.
