Going for paint soon- What trim to replace?
Soooo... My '87, well, the paint is tired. It's a very nice 20 footer, but we're at the point where there's enough rock chips, door dings, scratches from my kids dragging bikes out of the garage, etc. that I'm beginning to feel like a paint job is in order.
The question is- to do this correctly - how far do you go? I plan to pull the bumpers off, the glass out, the front fenders, hood, sunroof, decklid, doors, rocker trim, headlights/taillights, valences front and rear- and then I need a list of all the rubber trim I need to replace-
Eyeballing, I need: Window trim front and rear, door seals, side window trim, headlight/taillight seals, rocker rubber strip, door thresholds, bumper trim, front "smile," those little strips at the back of the front fenders where they meet the unibody, sunroof seals. I do plan on ditching the rear rubber "bumperettes."
Probably do the headliner while the windows are out.
This is a slippery slope, as I type I think of more and more things. So anyone who's been through this- any advice?
