is it easy/hard to take off the mouldings on the quarter panels....and how can i do it??? i want ot replace these 13 yr old faded ones...........thanks

 

I did a search and found this: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=692983

 

just replace them like the link that El Vap gave you. and paint them if you are on a budget

 

Why not paint them? Mine look new.

do they still look that way...and the paint looks like the stock mouldings???

 

use KIWI black shoe dye...makes the mouldings nice and black for a long time!

 

Hrmm, this is the only pic i have that shows what the moldings will look like:



As you can see, it has this satin-like finish. After about 3 light coats, you'd be suprised at how new they look. They don't even have that repainted look

 

nice masking paper
id never get any painting done with that around

 

tore up a maxim to do that.WHY?? i would have at least drove to the store and spent 50 cents on a newspaper.

No biggie, i only used about 2-3 for the lining of the moldings. Other than that it was all newspaper.

 

Duplicolor bumper paint & Adhesive promoter

 

thAt's what I did, but damn man! I only used a roll of 2" masking tape, and got no overspray...that's a lot of effort, but I guess for a white car, it's worth it...

 

damn it ......i got bondo smoothed out that covers the moldings and now i want to remvove it and put back the stock moldings on, how can i take it off without having anyair tools?

how many times are you going to ask that question?


BTW... nice work on the moldings...

 

bec i want to know how to get them off right, and the easy way too

 

cant get something for nothing

 

if you shaveed over your mouldings you are going to need to get all of that crap out of the valley, clean out the mountig holes, sand and blend the body lines around where you added all of the filler, paint the bitch, and then install new mouldings.

regretting your decision to shave it now huh?

Did you bondo it yourself? If you had a shop do it they may have done it correctly and welded a strip of metal in there! 1/4" of Bondo in there could crack over time.

 

yes i bondo it myself andi know i **** up
