Re: IML: Question on trim clips/tape

[Kenyon Wills <imperialist1960@xxxxxxxxx>]

I can't comment on your clip availability, but I can
say that nobody on the panet will tape your car like
you will.  Blue tape, quick turnaround before the tape
goes funky, and a razor blade while you listen to
relaxing music would be the way I'd go.  

I have a car with no trim on it in primer that's
waiting on me finishing my other projects (to my
regret), and I wanted it that way.  I want the car
DONE and done right, so it's down to the last nut and
bolt on the 1960, but for any of my other cars?  

Tape.

Unless you're looking for the absolute pillar of
perfection, I'd encourage you to consider taping just
for the economy of labor saved, whether on the
body-man's bill or in your own personal time.
