Photo shop the rims white also to see what that looks like

Posted by Luke87GT (Member # 21) on :

IMHO, black wheels look very good with black moldings on a white car.

However, playing with these 5.0's since 1997, I recognize that the 92-93 single color cars seemed to be a bit more desireable in general.

Posted by SydeWaySix (Member # 3596) on :

I think black molding will look best with your wheel setup. I used to hate the black moldings on foxbodies but now I like it for some reason. Then again, I used to hate 2-tone fox GT's, but now I want one for a DD [Big Grin]

Posted by uh0h50 (Member # 3125) on :

If the car is a 92 or 93, leave the moldings paint matched to the color of the car. Only 87-91s should have the black mouldings. Keep it OG lol

Posted by SantaClara_Lx (Member # 9488) on :

1991 originally black thanks guys plus the white is flaking off

Posted by 87droptop50 (Member # 7185) on :

paint the molding trim black

Posted by 50 Deep (Member # 6216) on :

Seeing as how your mouldings need some work anyway, now would be the best time to try and paint them black. Simply because if you don't like it, your not costing yourself any extra money by getting them resprayed white later. It would also compliment your wheel setup, but if you planned to go with a chrome/silver/polished wheel later the black mouldings won't go as well

do it!!

Posted by SantaClara_Lx (Member # 9488) on :

im going to do it. I came to stockton to my ladies parents house to use their garage but being that im in stockton i cant get out of this damn pool haha! ill post pics when im done

Posted by Blind (Member # 3052) on :

if it was me, I'd buy new black moldings from 50resto and just sand back/repaint the bumper moldings.

Posted by Sydewayz 24/7 (Member # 8725) on :

Paint the lip of the rim white keep the black in the middle and paint the moldings black

I would leave the wing alone. Looks good just the way it is.

nice!

Posted by EPIK (Member # 7481) on :

Looks much better. Car looks super clean now... Can't go wrong with Oxford White & black moldings IMO.

Posted by SantaClara_Lx (Member # 9488) on :

first tried sanding a little and using a solvant but didnt want it touching my 20 year old paint so i chilled off of that for a while till i had some kind of idea what i was doing. After i washed the car then i sprayed 2 coats of Bulldog adhesion promoter. it was like 24 bucks at an auto paint store. then i sprayed with Dupli color trim paint and guess what washed my car and its still there.
all in all worse part was taping and covering.

One can of the promoter
two cans of the trim paint

This car looks almost exactly like mine except yours is way nicer lol I wouldn't change the color to black I think the gray puts it together then again I have anthracite bullits so i dont knot

Posted by 90FoX (Member # 1974) on :

Looks muuuuuch better with painted moldings! [worship]

Posted by 89 306 (Member # 9042) on :

All it needs now are the windows tinted and it'll set it off. Car looks better now! I think tints wud mak it look a bit more agressive imo! Nice car

Posted by 94 N.C.F. GT (Member # 3946) on :

SHOalex you should leave it the way it is i think it looks realy good with the grey moldings

Posted by 925GT50 (Member # 2683) on :
