Paint and trim questions!
I hope with all your collective experience you can guide me.
I'm at the point at this time of year of getting my 88MKIII ready for winter storage, but I'm considering leaving her at a body shop for them to work on at their own pace and leisure over the winter.
The only problem with her as she stands is that I have one rust spotted passenger door caused by the crap mettle reinforced rubber coated side bdy moldings and the weak ass fasseners that used the hole in the the panel to attach them.
Unless I can find a perfect midnight blue door from an 89 or later car, I'm planning of having the body guys strip the damaged areas, and seal all the holes all around. Then replace the molding with adheisive bond type moldings.
I'm not crazy of paying Toyota for OEM replacements from 89-92 models, And I'm considering making a slight change to the paint color and finish, so I'm looking for a aftermarket solution that can be painted to match the new paint.
Any idea's fella's?
P.S.>>>
I've looked at and considered the removal of the moldings all together, but I'm not crazy about the lool. The "BELT LINE" adds something to the look IMHO, and having a perfectly paint matched replacement will make her look exactly as I wish her to.
And I'm open to other different idea's too!
