Ace-K Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 I was wondering about a temporary solution to the door frames/pillars to get them black. I'm saving up money to get it done properly but wanna spend money on other things first. So.. was wondering if vinyl tape would do the job? Has anyone done this before and if so where would I get some? Would this do the job? EBAY TAPE Quote
brewin Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 i think it would look tacky in vinyl mate in my opinionuseing that sunstrip vinyl you would end up with joins and they would ruin the effectsurely a bodyshop wouldnt charge a lot to paint them gloss black Quote
chanelle1234 Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 i got a quote for £90 to get them sprayed ace, but i got a discount on that price.chanelle x Quote
Steve GT Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 dont do it budif your going to do a job do it properlyif you dont want to spend on it now leave it until you dotheres nothing worse than a tacky and cheap look on a car lol Quote
Ace-K Posted September 5, 2009 Author Posted September 5, 2009 Cheers for the advice everyone! It just kills me everytime I go out to the car and see it non gloss black : ( Don't know what to save up for next, skirts and bumper or corolla mani and new panel filter Quote
LukeSR Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 Pretty easy to do yourself if you know what your doing Quote
Ace-K Posted September 5, 2009 Author Posted September 5, 2009 What? Painting it? Seen a few people who've done it themselves with glossy black spray paint but I just think i'd make a botch of it Quote
Idrees Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 You can easily fine it for a temporary job, it's only a small area so you wouldn't see joins. Quote
paulgtt Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 Go to a sign shop and ask for a couple of meters of offcuts of black vinyl, it will be alot better quality then the ebay stuff, its horrible to work with.I should know its what I do for a living Quote
Ace-K Posted September 5, 2009 Author Posted September 5, 2009 Hmm can't think of any local sign shops haha. Hmm maybe this would be better? New tape Quote
