DIY: Euro Trim

[StereoInstaller1]

Do any regular stores sell teh Evercoat stuff? A have friend that is a retired body man who suggested Kitty Hair from Evercoat. In this project I used what I already had on hand.

AFAIK, Evercoat is only available to Body Shop Supply stores, so hit them yeller payges.

Very nice just hope the tabs aren't fragile while removing them from the bumper. This way you don't need to purchase new side molding.

It's almost impossible to not break atleast one or 2 tabs in the process of removing the trim. Just be sure to take your time, remove each bumper, and use a screwdriver to try and push each tab out. Do not try removing the trim by prying it off from the outside.

Nice work, dood.

Kitty hair fucking ROCKS for that kind of shit.

IMHO, "Bondo" brand blows. Switch to Kitty Hair, by Evercoat. You will be impressed.

I like their "Bondo" best too, but a lot of guys like "Featherweight".

"Bondo" brand is now the stuff of WalMart. There is worse out there, but next time try the Evercoat.

Wow, that's a genious idea. Screw spending money on it, when I can do it myself. I'll do this when I have the resources...for now, I must keep my lame us trim. lol

[RobertK]

yeah bondo is great stuff, just don't punch the trim and you will prob be fine

Actually you could probably bump into it pretty good. The Bondo-Hair is not regular bondo it is fiberglass resin and long thin strands of fiberglass mixed together. It has the consistancy of pulling nasty hair from a shower drain but once it's set up it holds up strong and is meant to be flexible.

I will post up pictures once I get it back on the car but that will not happen until after I have it painted.

That looks pretty damn good!

x2.. can someone tip me in about what the blue stuff was? cuz his instructions stopped after the bondo hair.. heh

edit: by the time i posted this, ritalin had already posted why there was no text.. haha so i'll just wait

[RobertK]

I was thinking about that. I'd like to see how it lasts

Still adding text.. to create the DIY part. (Accidentally hit Save Post when I meant to hit "Preview")

It should hold up fine. I was bending and twisting it the whole time. Plus that and the fact that it held up to a DA sander without cracking is a testiment to how well the Bondo-Hair holds up.
