Oh, you mean other trim besides the trim we were talking about. I mask that stuff off and spray in the black.

Re: I am thinking of adding glue on strips
Check out my "how-to" in the FAQ truck tech 73-87. The main things I learned is that you need to use an anvil style cutter (one flat surface side) and the pre-cut kits are a poor fit. Your custom cuts will be tight and sealed well using the correct cutter.

I was wondering about expansion of metal on the truck when one glues the strips on.. What I am getting at is should this be done on a in between hot and cold day ? Say about 70 degrees ..I may be over thinking this ? |
Re: I am thinking of adding glue on strips
I did mine on a cold day, 40-ish. No issues.

There's something about the faded red patina that I like. The interior is mint. Mechanically the truck is solid. Something about the old paint that says "survivor." |
Re: I am thinking of adding glue on strips
I hear that. We're a little off topic here, but I think we've covered the original topic pretty well and I doubt that go papa will mind. I take a different approach to paint than many and I do it all by hand due to the old paint on these trucks. The typical cut and buff process can remove too much paint in my opinion. I use multiple steps to remove impurities, add clarity, protect, and a little shine results. I'm not interested in trying to get the gloss that you can get with a clear coat system. Good paint preservation restores some richness and luster to it. If any of that sounds interesting, hit me up. And for the record, I don't rep these products, haha, I'm just an enthusiast.
