Black Cladding & Grills =)

Post by GrayFox »

I finnaly got some pics. They're pretty craptastic as far as quality goes (I had my camera on the wrong setting ) and my car is filthy once again but I'll get some better ones up soon A note to whoever wants to get theirs painted: You WILL break alot of the clips that hold the cladding on. I managed to salvage all except the ones on the doors. The owner of the body shop gave me these at his cost and it was still ~$150 just for the clips ...and YES i'm going to get the door handles painted black, too Here's an extra pic of Hope... she likes to drive

Mine is turning brown Ha-ha,you should have replaced them when you painted the cladding.They sell them for $15,but you would have to break a few more clips.But they're made of rubber so if your careful,you can use mr.clean to bring them back to new.

Thanks Kev. That thought didn't occur to me at the time haha They weren't that noticeable next to the gray cladding but then stick out bad now...Could you be more specific on the type of Mr. Clean product?

The green liquid stuff.But you will have to be careful of the newly painted cladding.I used Mr.clean to clean mine up last year,and they look new again.Rubbing Alcohol would work too,but I would not recommend with the new paint.
