painting side skirts

[mitchzilla]

I was just wondering if anyone had a good link to a site that could show me how to remove my side skirts and the moulding on the side of my teg cuz i want to paint it to match my car, And if they knew a link that would help with painting them, I know how just want to see other methods. thanks.Sorry for the noob questions all the time.

skirts: you have to remove the two or three screws in front in the wheel well area. then there are i think six screws or clips holding the sides in from underneath. stick your hand down there and feel around. then slide your skirts forward and off.

moldings: open your door, look on the side and you should see a little screw that lands right where the side moldings are. remove those. do the same to the rear quarter panels. you have to take off your interior panels to access the clips that are holding the moldings in to do the rest. it should be pretty straight forward.

She pretty much hit it, on the painting I just got primer made for hard plastics, put a few coats on and then took my paint and put a few coats of that on there. You can put clear on there if you want... I would recommend it, I didn't but I am going to redo them.

Its pretty easy, I had never taken any side skirts off before and I did it, its easy and pretty straight forward. I don't know on the side trim though, but I'm sure its just clips

i just took the screws off of my side moldings, then ripped them off because i was tired from sanding and didn't want to take my interior apart. i ended up having to take all the panels and seats out anyway, but that's another story. lol

just take those things apart and play with stuff. it's really straight forward once you get on it. if anything breaks, just replace it. lol it's good learning practice.

Alright I think I can do it. I am pretty good at taking stuff apart without breaking it. I dont think it will be that hard anyway thanks ill post some pics when i get it done.
