 |
|
well, got all the trim polished for my deluxe
taking close up's with a cell phone isn't ideal, but you get the point
anyway, i made a list of the length of trim/location while i had this all off. it may help someone in the future
the front doors and B pillar is pretty obvious, so no need to go into that. the sides of the bus get confusing
*all measurements are to the nearest RCH
sliding door 48 3/8
sliding door cover 47 13/16
rear hatch 49 5/8
left center 47 1/16
left 'slider' cover 49
the rear corners are side specific and difficult for me to explain what to look for.
hope it helps someone down the road

truth be told, i kept buying trim as it came up for sale. i started with none at all.
just thought the measurements may help someone trying to buy the trim piecemeal as i did.

| What polish did you use? I kinda thought the trim was bright plated somehow. |

anodize remover. dip it in, let it sit and all the anodized coating is gone.
smack it up flip it rub it down and you're done. i used several polishes to get it where i wanted it to be.
i was going to do a write up on the whole process, but seeing most of you (not you 67...just the forum in general) view me as a chest pounding, horn tooting internet blowhard i figured i wouldn't bother
if you want, shoot me a pm and i will give you the lowdown
took me 2.5 hours to do all of it
