Colour Coding??

[Two Foot Tone]

I want to colour code all the black plastic trim on my 1.2 16v mk2 ph1. Can anyone give me any tips? Cars Dark Blue not sure on exact colour code tho

 

[LEOGWC]

Are you going to colour code the current trims you have or are you getting spares to colour code as i have most of the parts needed for colour coding.

 

[Two Foot Tone]

What parts do you have? I was going to colour code all exterior plastic (apart from spoiler) I just need tips on spraying the plastic bits on the bumper. Can these be removed or to you have these to buy? Thanks

I'd get them done by a body shop, mate of mine colour coded his 1.4, looked really smart, was a few years ago but cost him £100 all in, saves potentially messing it up

 

[LEOGWC]

£100 for what?? i was quote a fair few more notes than that for everything

 

[brammers73]

He got bumper trims and door and qtr mouldings done, as I say was a few years back but if you can find a cheapish body shop shouldn't Be too expensive.

I was quoted £200 for side mouldings and mirror caps :|

 

[Simon@SprayShack]

By who? Side strips 70 , mirror caps 45 , front bumper insert 85, rear 95 , plus p&p,smooth finish, you'll get cheaper but depends what quality of job your after.

Can you take the bumper trims off? I wanna do it myself as ive done repsraying a bit and its easy on some smaller trim. I dont wanna take the bumper off to take the trim off as im a lazy git and i dont really have space, just a driveway at the old mans house :\ I was thinking of spraying the trim silver but it might look gash. Not sure yet

I believe you can take them off without bumper removal. Not done it yet but its one of my plans in near future

That sounds better! lol

Also silver is sounding more and more attractive, i have a dark blue ph1

 

[LEOGWC]

I prefer dark blue than this colour lol!

what makes silver sound more attractive haha?

I was talking to some mates an theyve been trying to convince me that silver alloys, lowered 60mm, silver sunstrip and silver bumper trim would be epic. not 100% on it though..... :s

all down to personal preference mate. to me same colour all round is better (looks smarter). but it really depends on the look you want. try Photoshoping both scenarios and see which you prefer.

 

[Two Foot Tone]

Photowhat? I seem to be the only person in the world who doesnt know how to use it! lol! And its expensive! Assuming youve paid for it :\ lol! Ill put some pics up of the car in a bit, night time pics tho unfortunately!

Back box or standard and if so what type? Want to stay quiet as my scoob was insanely loud with a decat and scorpion!

 

[Simon@SprayShack]

Yup using your parts we do a set weekly!

 

[deanog123]

i know this is gunna sound sooo stupid. but ive been wanting to colour code my side strips since i've had the car but how do i get them off? sorry to be a tard

 

[LEOGWC]

I've not managed it yet but you open door and push the rear stips (hard) towards the front of the car and the door strips hard towards the back!

 

[deanog123]
