Mikey Jay Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Hey, was wondering if anybody could be so kind as to show me what my car would look like with the door handles, bumper strips and wingmirrors the same colour as the rest of the car.Many thanks in advance!Cheers! Quote
Mikey Jay Posted October 30, 2006 Author Posted October 30, 2006 Oo, looks a fair bit smarter.Thanks for that Harkus_09. Much appreciated.Any chance of me being cheeky and asking if you could put on a medium tint on the rear windows.Thankyou mucho! Quote
Idrees Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 The car doesnt look much different to me with the stuff colour coded. I'd take the strips off if i was you mate, and jus colour the handles.Actually, you can remove the strips now, as theres no money to be spent on that mod Quote
Mikey Jay Posted October 31, 2006 Author Posted October 31, 2006 Any chance of doing a photoshop image of the car without the bumper strips but the handles still done green?Thankyou! Quote
Sparky Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Its more or less impossible to get the perfect picture of a car destripped thru photoshop because of the little grooves that are there....... the same as on the corner of the bumpers..... so not really worth doing as you wont get what itl truley look like Quote
Mikey Jay Posted October 31, 2006 Author Posted October 31, 2006 Riteo, could look rather nice though yes? Quote
Idrees Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 its not hard 2 do at all. warm em up n rip em off. then use that wheel thingy cant remember what you call it to get the glue off. Quote
Mikey Jay Posted November 1, 2006 Author Posted November 1, 2006 Warm up with what and rip them off how?Anyone know what 'that wheel thingy' stuff is? Quote
Sparky Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 Unless you have a nice big garage with heaters etc i wouldnt bother doin it till the summerI think he means hair dryer or heat gun to warm the glue up behind the strips so they peel off easily and the warmer they are the less glue that is left for you to remove manuallyBy wheel thingy he means the "toffee wheel" (i think thats wat its called) garages use to buff the cars with to remove the glue Quote
Mikey Jay Posted November 1, 2006 Author Posted November 1, 2006 Roite, would a normal car buffer be any good?Too cold to do it this time o year then? Quote
lobotomy Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 Just rub at the excess glue with some petrol -- it's a natural solvent and as long as you don't leave it on the paintwork for days it shouldn't harm the paint too much.Also heat gns can get nasty -- just use a good hairdryer! Quote
Mikey Jay Posted November 2, 2006 Author Posted November 2, 2006 Ok, cheers for the advice guys!Much appreciated Quote
