So, long story short, I ended up getting my car painted professionally. Before you start with the I-told-you-so's, the reason I gave up on the roll-on job was because I simply didn't have the time or the patience. I still think it's a legit method if you're willing to go all out. Anyway, moving on.
I've been thinking about approaches to reattaching the side belt molding (the stuff that is originally held on with tape... what a bitch). After the hell I went through removing them, I can't stand the thought of ever doing it again... So I'd like to do it in a way that is easily removable.
Which brings me to this: adhesive backed magnetic strip. You can get this stuff in reasonable sizes that will hold ~20lbs per linear foot. That's over 100 lbs per door, folks. That molding weighs what, 5 lbs? Plus g-forces you get brom cornering, bumps in the road, etc., and I still don't think it'll fall off. What say you?
