Re: IML: Question on trim clips



Those D___m letters are another story completely. Even with the correct fasteners, they don't always stay tight. I say hold them on eny way you can!

You're right Paul and I agree with you, but say you have the second I in the IMPERIAL lettering under the trunk lid that doesn't have a post on it...that real thin 3M double sided emblem tape sure is nice.

If it were my car, I would prefer to keep the fastening methods
original.

I really appreciate everyone's opinion on tape or not tape, remove
all > trim 
or not. While reading these opinions, something just hit me like cold water 
in the face. 
I recall restoring a 1963 1/2 Ford Galaxie years ago, and when my
paint > and 
body guy was finishing the car, he asked me if he could use all the >
modern, 
contempory adhesives and techniques they use on new cars to put the
trim 
back on. I agreed to it, and you know, you couldn't tell the
difference. 
And, he said if I ever needed to remove some of the trim later, it's
a lot 
easier to peel off than detach the old style clips. 
Any thoughts on this?

This all depends on your desire to restore that car and to what
level. 
 
Taping the chrome will not get you as good of a paint job. It just
can 
not be done as well. That said, if you only want a driver that looks 
great going down the road, or standing still from 15 feet away, then
go 
for it. Removing the chrome is one "H" of a lot of work, and you are 
right, the clips will be a big problem, although they can be 
had/made/replaced. 
 
I have used both methods and was much happier with the result of
doing 
the extra work to remove all the chrome. The other thing that happens 
is that the shop can slip and scuff the chrome while they are sanding 
the car. These scuffs show up pretty well after the car has a nice 
shiny coat of paint on it. So does dull or pitted chrome, for that 
matter. Rechroming is expensive, but again, it all depends on your
plan 
for the car.

Subject: IML: Question on trim clips 
 
 
 
I'm new to the IML and new to my 61 Crown Coupe. In planning and 
preparation 
for a future paint job, I have a question that has a great bearing on 
removing ALL the trim. 
Are ALL of the clips available that will be needed to replace the
trim 
on my 
car, if in fact ALL of the trim is removed for painting? I have had 
painters 
tell me you can really get yourself in a mess if the clips can't be 
had. I 
realize taping off is not the ideal method, but if replacing this
huge 
amount of trim is going to be a major problem, I certainly might 
consider 
it. 
Any help here will be appreciated. 
 
Thanks to all,
