Title: F/L Body Mouldings
Post by: wingman on 21 April 2009, 14:57:43
Having lightly scraped my nearside front door moulding on the garage pillar I proceeded to try to spray this in using the dealers Z147 color code aerosol cans. Whilst the result is acceptable in the short term I either need to:-
1)  blow in the whole length of the moulding and then accept that it may not quite match the rear door moulding/doors
2) get a body shop to do it and match it color wise with a subsequent large bill!!
3) renew the moulding as if I gather it correctly from the forum these are bought color coded from the stealers.

If 3) above is right anyone got a feel for the price (retail.trade etc) and whether this would be the best option. Am I right in saying these are stuck with adhesive to the door andf are not too bad to remove with a bit of heat.!!
TIA

I know. I've been away for 2 weeks and would have had them immediately.
Still looking for Z147 facelift door mouldings now......

Incorrect, they are not colour coded from the stealers they come primed ready. You can buy a new one and get that resprayed at a body shop or just spray all the mouldings with the same spray can.

    Hi Mark,
               As you know i bought the door mouldings from you to put on my pre-facelift. You say above they are just held on with screws on the facelift they came off of so are they refitted the same way on my pre-facelift or do they need adhesive as well :-/ :question.

                Cheers,
                          Pete :).

Thanks guys for all the information and suggestions. I am going to remove the moulding and blow in the whole length with Z147 aerosol and then see if it matches back door moulding. I am pretty sure it will but if not will also remove and spray that as well.
Again many thanks
