    Hey all

    DIY colour coding, would you guys remove the bumpers and black strips or paint it in situe?

    Are there any How To: remove bumpers and trim? Would rather paint in the garage where its warm and dry and no wind.. that masked up body outside.

    Cheers

    Ok sweet.. Thanks..

    Will have to wait.. get super big garage on May 2nd.. big enough to get car in and open all of the doors and still walk around the outside..

    Unlike the one I have now will is filled with parts and had to carpet the walls because can barely open one door when parked..
