I’m getting my 240 painted this summer and am playing around with this idea I have about painting the black under the rear window to match the colour of the car. Not the entire section but just the part that meets the end of the roof down. Here is a photoshop of what I’m talking about. [![http://arch.kimag.es/share/4175974.jpg](http://arch.kimag.es/share/4175974.jpg)](http://kimag.es/) I think it would look really nice. My only concern is the black trim around the window. ---

Interesting, but IMHO it will only look good if you have a nice tint. ---

paint doesnt stick to good to glass … maybe if it was primed good and then scuffed the final coat would stick but getting primer to stick to the glass might be a little tricky ---

i don`t understand in the that pic it looked like you where pointing the window could you maybe be a bit more specific? so are you planing on painting the black piece between the window and door? ---

I would recommend photoshoping a car that isn’t already sexy as hell. That will give you a better idea of how it would turn out. ---

well, it is now my understanding that I cannot remove the black paint off the original window and that my only option if I choose to do this, would be to get Lexan windows ---

It will have an old school Eagle Talon look ![http://www.lustrdetail.com/Images/eagle%201991%20talon%20Mark%2006.15-16.07/after/eagletalonmarkafter%20(6).jpg](http://www.lustrdetail.com/Images/eagle%201991%20talon%20Mark%2006.15-16.07/after/eagletalonmarkafter%20(6).jpg) However, if you paint it black, tint your windows and paint your roof black too so that the whole car is black from half way up then it could look good. ---
