 Posted: Sun Jun 15, 2008 7:18 pm Post subject: Exterior trim removal help. |
 |
|
I am taking the trim off the side off my car for that clean look (too suit my bodykit) and the stupid d***head that resprayed my car about five years ago have glued the trim on!!! (see photo's, It looks like sikaflex) i need some suggestions on what i would need too do to get this crap off. I have tried kero, thinners and grease and wax remover + a plastic scraper but it is just taking forever i have spent most the day doing it and am getting nowhere. Thanks in advance.

 Pretty sure I wouldnt use razor blades.
Try Prepsol or wax & grease remover & elbow grease.

| Get ya missus' hair dryer and heat up the excess glue. Might come off a bit easier then. That's how i got the 4.0 OHC decals off the sides.

yes use the hair dryer. Not too hot though! maybe use eucalyptus oil or orange oil these are good and will not damage the paint.
use a plastic scraper with care. I used this to remove old company decals from a car I used to have. worked ok.

| Lol, yeah i have seen GMC heat guns at Bunnings for like $30, they'll do the job, but you don't want it too hot or you will bubble the paint and it only goes worse from there haha.

| Yeah after taking some more off it looks like they have used the trim (and the sika) to cover up a blend line... fkn d***head the paint looks average under there.

hey guys
my opinion
im a panelbeater an spraypainter
ido this s**t every day
mate best way is a razor blade and wax and grease remover
combined together will work perfect
it wont scratch the paint if its done right and any minor scratches will buff out anyways
cheers Drifty

| Good job. What's with the black plugs on the front guard? When I ripped my side moulds off, I had nothing like that. But being an EA, it doesn't have the side repeaters either.
