Hello, does anyone know where I could get painted roof trim/molding for my 2016 Dodge Challenger 392 Hemi Scat Pack Shaker? I purchased the trim from our Dodge dealership's parts department because the guy said it was black, but it was unpainted and a tan color, so I gave the trim back. The trim I have currently has cracked clear coat all the way down both pieces (it happened basically overnight) and looks like crap, so I really want to replace it without having to send it to be painted. thanks!
You may have no choice about painting. I believe that all replacement roof drip moldings now are unpainted. I would just have a good body shop paint your damaged ones. A cheap option (not recommended), would be to install "carbon fiber" or chrome moldings from E-Bay.
Thanks SRT-Tom! Why are the carbon fiber moldings not recommended? I would assume because they are not actually carbon fiber? Do they make actual carbon fiber moldings?
The ones that I saw on E-Bay are ABS plastic. They are only $33. I don't know how they will hold up. FOR 2008-2023 DODGE CHALLENGER CARBON FIBER 2PC ROOF TOP TRIM DRIP MOLDINGS | eBay
Why not try spray painting the roof rails yourself. I have had great success with the AutomotiveTouchup brand. Just buy the exact color and a can of clearcoat. If you are not satisfied with the results, you could always take your Challenger to a good body shop for re-painting. Watch the following DIY video showing how to professionally paint your car.

I have the same problem. https://www.challengerforum.com/threads/roof-seam-filler-strips.8701/ There doesn’t seem to be an easy solution.
