imma repaint my hood and paint my side moldings for a $125 total... removing the side moldings too to paint.. i think imma wait till i get the rs kit and do it all out once i'm thinking around 200 total

 

Oh man, becareful removing those side moldings. It's easier just to tape them off and paint them on the car. The clips are a bitch to get to and taking them off without breaking them is a bitch too.

 

hmm.. the dude knew what he was talking about.. but i'll be sure to bring that up with him.. thx

 

Yeah most side moldings are not reuseable after you take them off, be careful!

 

is there any negatives to painting them while they are on there?

 

I had mine painted on. We masked off all around them so we could sand them down. The guy whos painting them should know enough to take it easy and spray light so that you don't get any runs behind the molding so that it would drip down. I took my moldings off the second time though... they were a bitch, but got them all back on no prob except one small piece in front of driver side door on the 5th gens. Bought a new piece at the dealer, cost me 18.00 I think. So, I say do it up... that's a good deal. :driving:

 

I've taken all of mine off like 5 times and never bent one or broken a clip :dunno:

 

:werd: take them off the car to paint.

 

the dude know's what he's doing.. thx all for the replies

 

Yeah, I've taken off my molding more than 3 times and i've never broken it, even if I did it's worth the risk (15$ or so for a new peice) to have the paint done right.

although mines not painted yet, whats a good color? I was thinking Greyish black, or just straight Black, the problem is I want paint that will last, White paint lasts real long I hear but who wants a plane jane white car? although some white ones doo look awesome.
