Sure :D

You'll have to wait till tomorrow. I'm not even supposed to be "open" today :P

Off to microeconomics class...

Post by: P71 on April 13, 2007, 05:09:52 PM
OK, Here we go!

First, use a new #11 X-acto knife to remove the old chrome (this piece took me about 2 minutes).

Then sand the area smooth. The nicer you do this, the better it turns out.

Then CLEAN. Use a nice degreaser, followed by some rubbing alcohol on a rag to promote adhesion.

Post by: P71 on April 13, 2007, 05:14:43 PM
Then lay out your piece, make it extra long and trim to fit.

Push it down real well, going back and forth. This is a LOT easier with the trim on the car. Use a heat gun/blowdrier at LOW setting or a hot day for maximum wrinkle-free ness.

Trim the edges with the X-Acto.

Polish trim piece with Mother's Back-to-Black and call it done. This whole process and this extremely py trim piece in a cold garage took me 10 minutes start to finish. Doing it on an entire car on a warm day will be about 2 hours and would look amazing.

So there you go, ABM's new product of the week! Also, I've decided to UP the quantity to 50' per set, SAME PRICE! :D

Thanks for the kind words. I do try to "develop" a product fully before I release it. I need to do a center console decal install series as well. Hmmm... back to work!!

Original - Molded in red so lighter colors are harder to paint, the plastic is very high quality and the casting has little to no flashing. Comes complete with everything you need to make a stock 87/88 TC. The chrome is usually weak. Also optional chrome wheels, and Kobel-style full bodykit and FMS style spoiler included. Usually $15-$45 plus shipping on eBay depending on condition and completion. Open boxes are usually missing pieces.

New - Molded in silver plastic so lighter and non-reddish color cover much better. However the plastic is much, much lower quality. It is very soft and does not react well with serious paints (metalflakes, pearls, etc). The chrome is usually much better if you'd like to keep the wheels chrome. Comes with all of the same pieces as the original plus a small decal set, paint brush, glue, and some paint. Usually $12-$20 plus shipping on eBay.

You need one of the original kits to get Metalflake to come out nice.

How much to ship a new kit to Nova Scotia, Canada (postal code B0N2L0) via USPS airmail? Your prices are pretty close to others I've seen that were located in Canada but I'd rather give you the business. With $15 on the customs form there won't be any duty/taxes anyway :D

Why is it cheaper to get there faster? USPS is WIERD. I over-estimated the size/weight so figure $14 to ship. It would probably cost the same to ship you 2. (Still only WORTH $15 you know ;) )

Save me one, I'll get it once I have some extra PayPal fundage.

You think USPS is weird? It costs me a dollar more to mail a sequencer to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia than it does to mail one to California. And the one in California is airmail, the Cape Breton one is ground.


If the package is under 500 grams (about a pound) the difference is even greater. For about $6 I can mail a >499 gram parcel to anywhere in USA via airmail (including AK, HI, PR). To mail that same package to Moncton, New Brunswick (a three hour drive from here) costs $11.00. Figure that one out...

If you use a good primer sealer on the body (or any other part) before paint,you can do most anything with the red body.
Title: New item every week, #5 is more 83-86 trim
Post by: P71 on April 24, 2007, 10:02:57 AM
The red body is the good one ;) I've painted pearls, true metalflakes, chameleons, everything! I use grey primer and then color coat.

I just wanna paint it white/grey, so the red body ain't necessary :D I'll likely paint the snowflakes white as well, as I plan on doing that to my car

All 3 weeks together is starting to make the thread confusing.  I'm keeping my eye out for the 5.0 stuff.

I'll release the 5.0 stuff early since I waited till the very end of the week for this. I have some much "better" stuff in the works but it just hasn't happened yet.

So I should make a new thread every week?
