Zulu Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Has anyone ever done molding of the bumpers, etc. to make a it all smooth and clean. My friend says he can do it for me ( father and uncle own couple shops), so I think it'll look schweet. Any thoughts? Anyone know costs by professional shops? Pictures?

Zulu Posted December 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Like on the rear bumper. How the bumper is a separate entity from the car in essence. Make them one. Same with the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drPheta Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 One problem with blending them into eachother is body flex. Depending on the material you use, the body flex/roll may crack whatever work you just did.I had something like this done, molded the seam of two parts together. A year later the pieces that were joined flexed enough to crack the paint in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zulu Posted December 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 My friend was explaining the process to me because molding is a common practice with bodykits and all that. I believe they use Duraglass or something. I'll ask him about it when he gets back in town Saturday or Sunday, get the explanation for all of us.
