Painted Trim and Re-Dyed Seats (56k BOUNCE!)

[e30nub]

i just wanna know how you got the bumper trim off without breaking the clips

Hahaha! My co-worker took them off for me. I'm pretty sure he just pulled them off. They just snapped in when I was done painting them. Did I do something wrong?!

I'll be in Santa Cruz from Thursday to Saturday.

But all I've done is my own seats. I can help you while you do it. It's really simple.

seats and trim look great. how did you get the side molding off the doors?

i found it easiest to take the bumpers off and spray hot water on the clips to soften them then push them out with a screw driver

Just pull them off I believe. In case that's wrong, I don't know what to tell you. Can anyone else chime in?

Use the SEM Flexible primer (just a random store) for bumper trim and plastic what not.. It does wonders.

The car is really coming together.. Long live Brillantrot E30's!

I Plasti-dipped my side mouldings and the paint never cured right. Its still kind of sticky on the rubber parts. The paint cured fine on the metal strip though.

Same here! It already started peeling, so I just peeled it all off. Any other recommendations for the side moldings? I might just hit it with some SEM Trim instead.
