Pillar Rash
Small problem here. This peeling to the black on the pillar. It's understandable the X is 20yrs old. Anyone know how to address this? See pic.  Sent from my TMAF035G using Tapatalk

Wow, mine are faded but not that bad. I've been looking for a solution too. The roof bars are in worse shape. I was thinking of carbon fiber tape. Or a wrap.

I never thought of using rubberized spray (?? dunno why not ??), though I have used bedliner spray on my trucks and trailer, FlexSeal on a garage-roof repair (tree limb punched a hole in it), and PlastiDip spray on wheels and a grille (the grille was done in 2011, and still looks good), so I'm glad rwilson suggested it.

Seems the OEM paint bubbles up. I see small spots on the rails. Do pillars do the same thing? Does anyone have before and after pictures? Plasti Dip sounds good

I figured those bubbles were from aluminum corrosion under the paint, like the side view mirrors.
