Default side markers

i got my side markers installed today but the people who did it screwed up and its hanging out. What is needed to make it stick on cuz they used double sided tape/ some guey thing and it fell off when i was wiggling it. Also they didnt paint the exposed metal. What kind of paint do i need or just use any paint that matches my car>?

when you say sidemarkers you mean the turn signals installed on the front fender right? did you get the OEM style or apr/aftermarket style? if they are original sidemarkers they have clips on them to keep them in place. anyway you can use black silicone sealant (the one that smells like vinegar) since it holds it in place and can easily be removed without removing your paint

as far the the exposed metal is concerned, assuming its not that bad, you can use the duplicolor touch-up paint. get the matching color and that should fix it

can you post pics?

spray the bare metal with some zinc rich paint, rustoleum, let it dry use and sos pad and some soap on the painted area about 1 hour later and use a mild epoxy to hold those bad boys on.
