Cleaned up and coated my trunk drip rails **pics**
17 Attachment(s)
So back in April the judge at the MCA Pensacola Mustang show reamed me for how nasty my drip rails were under the trunk lid. 12 years of grit and grime collecting there makes it a bit of a hassle to get clean or keep clean. So today I got a wild hair and decided to do something about it.
Just a little details for you guys because I am sure I am not the only one with nasty drip rails. **That sounds bad!** Used some 3M undercoating spray that has the hard rough texture similar to spray in bed liners. When I told the judge at the show I had plans of doing this he told me how great of an idea it was and he had never seen that done. Plus it will help with rust. Here is what I started out with Attachment 14985 Attachment 14986 Cleaned what I could with some Simple Green Attachment 14987 Took the trunk, taillights, rubber seal, and some of the carpet molding off to make sure I got everything covered Attachment 14988 Got everything taped off how I wanted Attachment 14989 Attachment 14990 Got a few good coats of the 3M coating going on Attachment 14991 Attachment 14992 Removed all the tape and plastic to reveal a result I was very happy with Attachment 14993 Attachment 14994 Reinstalled the rubber trim, taillights, carpet molding and trunk lid Attachment 14995 Attachment 14996 Attachment 14997 The final product! Attachment 14998 Attachment 14999 Attachment 15000 Attachment 15001 P.S. It is easy to take the trunk lid off by yourself...but a pain to get it back on by yourself! |

Very nice, I will try this out sometime.

That looks real nice! Something I've never seen before. When I detail my car twice a year I always make sure to clean this area so mine isn't too bad.

I agree with everyone else. It looks fantastic! Great idea and A+ work/attention to detail for sure. That coating should last forever...
|
That's a smart solution!
|
Nice, I just repainted mine the factory color.
