rmmackfc Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 Guys, what's the easiest way to get the little plastic retaining clip off...without breaking it? I've got a can of silver spray paint to do the sills. Quote
Guest prescience Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 It just prises off (carefully) doesn't it Quote
rmmackfc Posted June 11, 2007 Author Posted June 11, 2007 Cheers got 'em off...no worries. Next Silly question, whats the best way of removing the Z logos from them, they seem to be glued/rivited on, or is it quicker just masking them off you think? Quote
M13KYF Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 masked I would of thought. Prob can't get the Z badge off without knackering the rest of the sill Quote
rmmackfc Posted June 11, 2007 Author Posted June 11, 2007 Cheers Mike, that's what I was worried about, masking it is then. I'll dry it in my new oven....it's called outside, flippin roasting here! Quote
lomoto Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 Cheers got 'em off...no worries. Next Silly question, whats the best way of removing the Z logos from them, they seem to be glued/rivited on, or is it quicker just masking them off you think? when I sprayed mine I drilled the pins out from the rear, then just glue the badges back on..A bit fiddly to get 100% job masking off I would have thought ??

P15UL T Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 my advice would also to drill the rivets from the back then glue the badges back on after paint....unless its too late Quote
rmmackfc Posted June 12, 2007 Author Posted June 12, 2007 It's never too late with me... ended up painting the house last night Cheers, I'll see how I get on masking first. Quote
lomoto Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 you want pictures of my house OK , makes a change from cars Quote
MarkW Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 you want pictures of my house is it nice? if not it would be nice to see how the sills turn out..... Quote
rmmackfc Posted June 12, 2007 Author Posted June 12, 2007 I like it I'll do some photos before, during and after. Think I may finally do the strut cover too... although the wife won't let me paint it orange (not worth arguing with her about it), so may opt for the same silver I'm doing the sills with just to get rid of the scratches/scuffs on it.

lomoto Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 . although the wife won't let me paint it orange (not worth arguing with her about it),. Brave man to put that on a forum Quote
