i got my car colour coded, not really happy...

[Dyno]

it's already bubbling, chipping, flaking etc...

is there anyway to order the plastic mouldings from renault which are already metal? Like say ones for a RS?


Or could you order ones from renault which are a proper material for painting...

 

[BIFCAIDS]

right i went to a spray shop the other day n he said it would be cheaper for me to buy the RS moulds because there already primed n theres no need to prep them. he said the grey ones on the car may have silicon in them still tiny partical's can effect the paint thus sometimes giving a shag finish after 6month's (flaking, chipping all really simple things) dunno how much they are from renault tho

But if youve got a dynamique or any other model clio, and you want it all colour coded, i.e front and rear plastic panels then buying RS stuff is only the door mouldings, as the front and rear bumpers are different. RS mouldings from renault are gunna rape you. even on ebay they fetch £70 for both sides. A proper decent bodyshop will do them for you, they need to be smoothed and sealed before any paint goes on them.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

that is true but supose you could just prep them your self

 

[Dyno]

yeah the rs doesnt even have front and rear mouldings...

So if i ordered some RS side mouldings would they be metal and black? and would they fit a dci 06 dynamique? thanks.

RS side mouldings are the same as non RS ones, their not metal lol

 

[Dyno]

They aren't the same, the non RS ones are plastic and have an orange peel type texture, the RS looks metallic and smooth...

 

[Jungle_Jim]

the RS ones are plastic but smooth

 

[cat171]

Dyno - how long ago did they do it ?? How long did they guarantee the job for ? If you only had it done recently i'd go back there & show them.

they are the same, in that they are all made out of plastic.

 

[Hazza]

You can get urs to look like the RS ones by sanding down the orange peel effect, and thus making it smooth, and less chance of the paint flaking.

Voila.

 

[Dyno]

the RS ones are plastic but smooth

Would these be alot better to order from renault? Would they come coloured or would you need to take it to a paint shop?

I mean at least then it's the correct surface for paint.


Cat - it only got done a month ago or so but ive never really been happy with it.. looks like a really thin coat, pretty half arsed attempt. Definetely not been sanded.

 

[cat171]

^
i'd take it back & tell them they did a poor job. Unless of course you paid cash & have no bill.

 

[172blue]

It is all in the preparation...is'nt Middo still doing this stuff? His piccies the other day look spot on.

 

[Dyno]

So you can buy the mouldings from Renault which are primed and ready for paint?


that sounds like it would be a much better finish than just painting over the texture.



Can you buy the mouldings like that? I phoned renault and the lad on the phone said we have mouldings but they're just the black plastics you already have on your car..

 

[N90 ACK]

For the shiny and smooth look you need to have them sanded then do everything else after

 

[Beef-Mc]

The RS ones don't have as much texture as the non-RS ones, always thought the RS models sidestrips came in primer.

 

[N90 ACK]

I got all my plastic bits sprayed in a bodyshop for free, top job aswell

 

[Beef-Mc]

How did you manage that then?
