The black window trim wears off with age and reveals what appears to be a finished chrome piece underneath. What gives? I’ve never seen one with just chrome. Did they plan on it and then decide at the last minute to paint ‘em all black?

Thats just what the unprepped metal under the paint looks like.

So far as I know, all Honda trim from the 80's and 90's looks like that under the paint, and all of it has peeled by now unless someone repainted it . I think that is actually shiny aluminium under the paint. Most of the black paint had peeled off the trim of my racecar (1988 integra) by around 2001ish. Once uniform,the chrome like finish didn’t really look out of place on the car.

All Honda's do this. Especially the late 80's-early 90's cars

yeah - my little bro had a green one that did that... Really could have used the motor out of the Ac cord but otherwise a neat little rig.

The drip rail trim on my rx7 is like that, the black paint is failing and reve
al
ing polished aluminum underneath. It’s a good way to get a nice smooth base to paint.

Yes correct. A ccords have it either way chrome or the black tape. Honda has d one this from the 80s through the 2000s as I think it’s on the 8th gen. ( Definitely the 7th) It is already done by the time it gets to the factory so makes me think its dipped some how but not 100% sure
