Karlw144 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 The front fascia on my 90 convertible was chipped and looked terrible. With the tips from this group, I removed the corner lamps and fascia in about an hour and a half. Sanded, primed, spot putty, and a little more sanding. Base coat per my test sample and then clear coat. Color looks really good and I can rub it out after 5 days. Bought the products from Expresspaint.com. Just wanted other members to be aware of the fact that paints can be purchased in rattle cans and the end result looks really great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stall Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Sounds like a nice fix. When i got my 90 Convertible i noticed that while not chipped, the fascia piece sure attracted bugs and chips could not be far away. I purchased some clear vinyle that's made for just this purpose. it sticks by itself and comes right off, 2 years and works great. think about this after your paint is cured.

Finfan1 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I just washed my 90 and noticed that my fascia is also chipped. I was going to post something - I'll have to give it a try. If I'm going to a car show I give it a quick wax with Red Velvet Carnauba Wax - works great and hides alot of the small scratches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAVES89 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I couldn't find it at AutoZone so googled "Vinyl Bra for cars" and Amazon has it by 3M. it's called VVivid clear coating. [2 V's is correct]. $19.99 for a 6" x 60" piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
