Well i've been using eucalyptus oil and a paint scraper to remove the outside door trim on my car... I got the top part loose easy but then the bottom section I couldnt get loose... So I took a friends advice and just pulled it off... Unfortunately its taken some of the paint with it!
So a warning to anyone with a Berlina or Calais or even SS that wants to remove their thick outside door trim... Dont just rip it off because you'll end up with some paint missing.... and a sore hand from throwing a tantrum and repeatedly punching the wall :bang:
Luckily I learnt my lesson and used a stanley knife carefully to seperate the sikaflex from the door trim at the bottom for the other door on the passenger side... so its just 1 door that has paint missing... Touch up paint here I come...
:bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang:
I was just thinking... Should I repaint the entire door? Because the touch up will be slightly visible wont it?
