Has anyone had success painting the black side molding on the S4 FC's?? I'm not terribly fond of the look of it but figured I could paint it to roughly match the body..

 

Yeah, that's no biggie - car looks SO much better with body colored molding.

That should be standard in an FC repaint if you ask me!

thats what I was hopeing, that'll be one of the first things I do I think...

 

I painted mine. It looks much better!

 

Damn! That looks sharp!

The wing is wack, rest is ok.

 

Personaly I was thinking of going white with black molding. Trying to go for that panda FC look. Or maybe I should just buy a hochi-roku.

Sweet ride.

 

Is it hard to take the molding off and putting back on??
What the process for that???
thx

 

I painted mine when I resprayed and I am EXTREMELY HAPPY I did.. EXTREMELY

You should scuff them and it should be okay to paint them. Just watch door dings, they will be much more obvious as there is black behind the paint still


See sig for pics!

 

I think I will be very careful about it to try to avoid the door ding problem. Remove them, scuff up a bit, clean, prime, sand, clean, prime, paint etc. Something along those lines... may not even make a difference who knows, lol.

edit: damn your car looks nice!

 

tried to remove and paint mine, but they're brittle and I broke them, so they ended up shaved(look in avatar), the car is painted now and it looks so much sexier sans the mouldings, i'll post pics when it's outta the shop!

 

Although I am not a big fan of this, some people opt to keep the Body Side Mouldings Black! I speculate that they are still living In the 80's.

When I painted my car 1999 Mazda Miata Highlight Metallic Silver, I had the mouldings painted aswell.

 

You painted your FC that color? Got any pics?
