InDepthAutoDetailing Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 Man that thing looks good! Thanks. I can't wait to have a nice cloudy day in the 70s so I can put the flex on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InDepthAutoDetailing Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 I started the paint correction today. So far, with help from my dad, I've done the roof, hood, and passenger side with 2xSSR, 2xSHR, & 1xFMP.All with the Flex. That thing is awesome! Right now I'm waiting for my kids to get out of school. Hopefully I'll get a coat of MSW on tonight before bed. Pics soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InDepthAutoDetailing Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 Pics as promised. Not the best pics but I was in a hurry. I still had the drivers side to do and dark was closing in. There is still plenty of work to do towards paint correction but I think it's heading in a good direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InDepthAutoDetailing Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 I like the new tail lights man they look great Thanks Mason. These weren't my first choice but were only $75 for the pair. I really wanted some LEDs but they were more than double the price. At least now I can drive down the road and not have to worry about a tail light falling out.

3PedalMINI Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I LOVE the look of a de-badged tailgate......Just throwing it out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InDepthAutoDetailing Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 I LOVE the look of a de-badged tailgate......Just throwing it out there! It's on my to do list. I'm also considering removing the side moldings. The fake chrome has started pitting. I'm just not sure what kind of shape the paint underneath will be in.

Guest Gone & Forgotten Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I need to de-badge mine too, thinking about getting out the heat gun and my bondo applicators (soft rubber) - think that would work? Len, let me know if you wanna stop by and use the heat gun - My truck fits in the garage, you'd have to cut yours off even with the hood to fit in my garage - haha ... I only have about 3 inches of clearance on the roof, and 2 inches on each mirror... once in - enough room to walk around the back. It's no vette, but I love it. I PM'd ya man.

Guest Gone & Forgotten Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I'm no angler - recommend a certain 'pound test' for removing a 'Big Horn' badge? HA... hate that thing. First thing I did when I bought the truck was remove the dealer stickers - I hate when they try to get free advertising out of me. As clean as my ride is, the only advertisement it deserves is Adam's. (and my business name when I get my logo finished) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always use my stren superbraid thats 14 lb strength, and only 4 lb diameter which I think helps give me the leverage but helps keep scratches down vs people using normal line that's 10-20 lbs.

Guest Gone & Forgotten Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I'd be using this Two temperature settings 750° F. and 1000° F Power: 1200 Watts / 4100 BTUs I'm a painter by trade, so I use this to check color matching on paint and to speed up the curing of sheetrock mud. Figured on low, it'd be okay as long as I kept my distance. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesnt take much heat at all to soften the adhesive. I have heard of people using heat guns in the past, but you just have to be ultra careful. Might be ok on low if anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3PedalMINI Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 just use a blowdryer, fishingline, bug&tar remover or goo-gone and it will come off really slick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
