Man.... this was a friggen all day event. I took off and sanded down almost all the trim moldings lol. Roof rail molding... Door belt molding... Lower windshield trim... cowl, wiper blades... Came out friggen awesome. No pics of the cowl, wiper blades, or lower trim moldings.. too dark out... But here's the following...

Man.. Talk about a difference... I'm so pleased with the results... Just used some 60 grit sand paper to get the pitting out, then some 400 to smooth it out... then painted them with Duplicolor Black Trim Paint... Whatcha think??

damn howd you get em so clean? some retard detailing shop screwed mine so the clears all messed up which i will have to fix... unless i put later model 87-93 moldings on it instead of mine (since i have 93 cobra bumper)

 

[PonyGrl420]

[Stang8URMPRT]

Uhhhhh lol... Those aren't pics of the bumper moldings man. These are on the door... roof rail is above the window and door.. the door belt is on the bottom of it.

 

[Thenemesis]

[WhiteHeat306]

lookin pretty good man

 

[Ozz]

Uh oh, I really should do this too!

How does the trim paint holding up? I'd think it'd be too "accepting" to scratches and dings.

Thats awesome man, kudos on the craftsmanship. How long did it take you to get them off and reapply, also what was needed for removal and installation?

No idea man lol. It's only been on for a matter of an hour or two. I've had good luck with it before on my 83... So I wouldn't think it would be bad this time. After it bakes in the sun tomorrow, we'll see. It's still not fully dry yet... Try to the touch, but not fully.

The roof rail molding is held on by 1 screw... open the door, and in the front... on the a pillar, there is the one screw. Then you just pull off the molding... feeling where each clip is, and pulling from it, then move to the next one. There is nasty grease/silicone crap on it... so it's messy. As for the door belt molding.. You open the door, and in the door jam... on the door, you'll see a little screw in the corner that holds is on. You unscrew it.. and slide the molding back... it's actually got three holes in it where rivets slide into.. then when you slide it forward, they go into "tracks" on that molding that hold it down. Thanks for the compliments!

 

[ill advised]

Nice job. I need to do this for my '92.

 

[Stang8URMPRT]

Thank ya! Now I need to get those 1/4 window coverings (cause I ain't takin' all that crap apart and sanding all the pits out of it) and new door handles and I'll be set!

 

[forrealb50]

sweet, now do mine!

 

[deadhead5.0]

Looks great, was it hard to get on and off?

 

[Boss 351]

yeah what's up with that grease crap? The guy doing the paint job on my car was swearing up a storm lol

 

[nicks199050gt]

Take the time and do the windows it'll be worth it.

 

[iwashmycar]

is it hard to do the 1/4 windows....i thought the coverings were supposed to look like *****?

Oh and did you do all the moldings like even on the door above the windows?

from what i can tell you did the ones that connect to the roof, and the "sill" type one on the door under the window....right?

thanks -adam

 

[mattkimsey]

What kind of paint did you use? Did you do the metal thing around the back glass on the hatch?

 

[MUSTANGJOE]

Yeah looks good!..

Mine need some touch ups also..what paint did you use?..

 

[Stang8URMPRT]

Ok... First off, no... None of it was hard to get off. Read above on how to get the moldings off in a previous post in this thread.

Second... The paint I used was Duplicolor Black Trim Paint. It matches perfect with the window frame part of the door that's not faded at all.

Third... I have heard from people that the 1/4 window moldings look good and factory if you just take your time and not rush them.

Forth... I did not do the hatch glass moldings. You need a special tool to get them off... or so I read. I will do those and the side and top windshield trim when I do get that tool.

Yes, the grease sucked. It's some kind of weather sealant I guess. Sorta sticky and grease. Very messy.

Thanks guys.
