Skids 108 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I want to paint these without having to mask off the whole car. Anyone ever remove these or have an idea how to find instructions etc? I would think it couldn't be too hard. thanks Link to post Share on other sites
bluer101 241 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Looking at these photos it looks like it's bolted on thru the roof. You might be able to get to the nuts by loosing the headliner. Skids 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Skids 108 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 awww crap.. that headliners looks like a pain and half and thats is cardboard too. dang.. well at least I know. Thank you! Link to post Share on other sites
bluer101 241 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Actually the headliner is easy to remove. Remove the sun visors Remove dome light Remove headliner clips center and rear Pull back door frame weather seals Remove or pull back A, B, and C pillar plastic. Remove grab handles. You can try removing the door frame weather seal and reach up inside first. Skids 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Skids 108 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 ya I guess not that hard just time consuming .. was hoping to go the cheat route and just pull back the sides and reach in, but its molded on to something worried about getting bent creases and such.. might just be worth getting a big tarp covering the whole car and cutting some holes lol. Thanks for the help Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the help It's molded like that for the curtain airbags. I would take them off but that's me seeing I have done many headliners. But for you pick up some plastic drop at a Home Depot in a roll. You can cover the car and tape down the sides. Then cut the holes and do masking. Link to post Share on other sites
WaltK 305 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I want to paint these without having to mask off the whole car. Anyone ever remove these or have an idea how to find instructions etc? I would think it couldn't be too hard. thanks Just curious, why? Are you redoing them in silver, or going with a color? Link to post Share on other sites
Skids 108 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 ya probably going to go drop cloth cars tiny might be easier. Walt, I found this clear reflective spraypaint. In addition to do the tron reflective pin stripe thing I wanted to make these reflective also instead of dealing with trying to cover them in vinyl, also thinking about spraying the front grill and back black plastic part with it. Ever since my accident I've been trying to make it more noticeable, and short of wiring leds all over the place i think this is the way to go plus it'll give it a cool custom look... hopefully.
