BillisAwesomeKE70 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Posted October 10, 2013 Hey just wondering what the best way of getting the chrome trim of my rain gutters and windows without damaging it or if I should just tape them up?? Any advice would be appreciated. Quote
altezzaclub Posted October 11, 2013 Report Posted October 11, 2013 We took ours off to paint. The gutter trim rolls off starting underneath at one end and working it off by rolling it around upwards to the gutter side. Its easy to damage and not that keen to stick back on properly as taking it off stretches the metal slightly and it is just clamped on. The screen is held on by plastic clips, which we prised up and off. I think they're a keyhole so the trim slides up and then lifts off, but it was a while ago now to remember. You can stick that back on with a bit of silicon. The door chrome lifts straight up, also prone to bend if you're unlucky. You can mask over them if you're painting the same colour, a careful masking job is not noticeable. Quote
ke70dave Posted October 11, 2013 Report Posted October 11, 2013 I had alot of trouble getting mine off without damage. I ended up damaging half of them, and then had to go to the wreckers and all my trim was never the same again... The worst was the gutter ones, as the "chrome" was easily damaged (half of mine flaked offf....) Quote
