Can anyone tell me what kind of tape or glue body shops uses to put on front lips or side skirts on with? And where can I get it? I have screws on with it but wanted to get a better or tighter fit.

 

3m double sided tape. try home depot

it needs to be exterior tape though (weatherproof)

the kind you need has a red backing on it

 

Thanks!!!

 

Autozone and Walmart also carries it in the "auto" department. Should be a round roll about the size of a roll of electrical tape.

Black carboard backing on the package with the white 3m logo in the corner. Theres a 1/2 inch AND a full inch wide roll. Most places will carry the 1/2 inch, easiest to use.

Actual tape is greyish blue with a red backing like conceyted stated.

DON'T settle for anything else off the shelf. That particular 3m is great, held my v1 veilside lip on tightly and it's the ONLY thing keeping my OEM spoiler on.


(sounds redundant but i figured this info will be good for future searches)

 

Did u guys also use the adhesion promoter? Do they have those in Autozone or Home depot also?

 

Chapstick for the lips, to keep them moist and starch for the skirts to keep the heams nice and neat...

 

I've never used that.
I imagine it's an alcohol based cleaner type of solution that rids the surface of oily substances so the product can adhere better.

I've always just cleaned whatever it was that I was bonding with a little Windex or glass cleaner. Works fine.

 

does anyone know anything i could use to attach a lip to a bumper before i molded in the lines with bondo/???

 

ummm... thats a tough one. EPOXY? that would be your best bet THat or liquid nails

 

yeah, i was thinking some like eurothane adhesive or something. ?? iono
