Door Panels (AGAIN)

Post by slamons »

:? OK I have been reading a lot of past post from nearly a year ago, I can not find an update to a solution.

My 71 xlt has fairly nice door panels with the exception of the chrome mylar trim, How does the metal foil tape work ? or how about the hobby tape? Or does anyone have other solutions or perhaps a great set of red 71 xlt panels sitting around? Please Help :evil:

is that stuff mylar? maybe you could get some more mylar and just go over it. i think mylar has a solution that makes it stick to car windows. as far as metal foil tape. i think that stuff is to stiff to work with on something that small. hobby tape? maybe i haven't ever seen any. it might work.

May not be talking about the same thing here...but I took the interior trim off my Dad's 80 F100 and used a Silver paint pen to re-do, then sprayed it with a Dupont (i think) clearcoat finish. After it dried completely (had to re-do one due to tackiness) I put it back on and it looked sweet. I ended up taking out his dash, scrubbing it clean and restenciled the trim with the paint pen. The pen by itself seemed to retain a small level of tackiness though...so I would use the clear coat as well.
