    Default VX calais chrome door moulds (trolley strips)

    hey guys i have found these on ebay and am interested in getting this onto my berlina, just wondering if i would have any problems removing my old ones and putting these ones on, also is this a good price? (not sure how much holden sell them for and then you have to get them repainted as well i guess), how are they attached? also being just plastic it should all look the same if its the right paint code?
    cheers

    hmm, you could get away with going to repco and getting paint off the shelf but chances are it won't 100% match (for example - there are in fact 4 different shades of heron white)

    if its the same paint code H154 (Quicksilver) then they shouldnt be different shades?

    Well, if it is the same paint code, and already a factory car then you may be in with a chance. Nonetheless for the strips are plastic, there will always be a slight mismatch between strip and metal door even if you resprayed them both in the one job, blending into eachother.

    It may be more beneficial to give the job to a body shop - they charge $60/hr, dealers charge $80/hr. Not sure how long it would take.
