I did search and 3M seems to be the brand of choice for putting on body kits. My questions are:

1. Which type of 3M is the absolute best?
2. Someone said that heating it up with a dyer first makes it cling better...it this true.

 

ttt

ne1?

 

its the dark grey stuff with the red/orange backing(tape) that you want to buy. dont get the white stuff. you can also get it in different thircknesses.just make sure the surface is really clean when you put it on heat dont matter(just dont put it on in the cold) it sticks really well, i used it on stuff that went through some rough western pa winters without a problem. just make sure you put whatever you putting on where you want it the first time because it aint coming back off.

 

is this the stuff?

YES, thats it

 

hold the phone...there are three types:

white




grey



black



which is the strongest...?

 

im sorry to bring up this thread but I would really like to know witch one is the strongest and where do you guys pick it up at?

 

i would say black cuz it sayz "plus" on the label!! but the grey is teh win

 

The black might be more difficult to come by...try a auto body supply type place, but the grey will work just fine. No need to heat it up first, just make sure the two surfaces are clean and you don't put it on when it's cold outside.

 

i am using grey, it's been two year

 

where did you pick it up from. Im looking for someone that has some. I put some on my car on my bumper and it keeps coming off. I got it at the 99 cent store anyways thanks.

 

HD, Lowes, Ace....take your pick. Hell, I've even found it at Target.

 

3M also makes an adhesive promoter that you can wipe the surface with first, that makes it stick better. you can pick that up at home depot.

Thanks a bunch everybody

 

sorry to bring this back but this tape seems kinda of thick.. what if i were to use it with emblems? i want it flush and not sticking ouit.. but alot of ppl on ht say use teh 3m.. any pics of what you guys use

 

the black stuff with the red backing tape or the dark grey seems to work really good as long as you degrease and clean the surfaces....itll hold like whoa!! haha
