Ok doing the berger mod and this is pissing me off i had the write up than some how misplaced it and have been searching for about an hour now and cant seem to find it. Anyone want to be nice and tell me just the basics of how to do it or have a link? Much appreciated

 

What is there to write up? You remove the panel, !badge it, wash it, let it dry, spray with self etching primer, spray w/ 3 lite coats of semi gloss/flat black (your choice). Let dry for a few hours. Reinstall, enjoy.































































Oh yeah here you go:

like the grit of sand paper because you have to sand it down, if i remember it was 600 but dont remember

 

Check the link i posted above You beat me to it.

BTW is your friend. I did a search and it was the first thing that popped up lol.


And nah if you use self etching primer...... no sanding needed. The primer does all the work for you chemically.

 

o woops didnt notice the massive space thanks man

 

All my guy did was scuff my panel up and spray it with semi gloss. That was last year and it has help up wonderfully. I don't know how many coats he did but it turned out great.

 

It is better to do 3-5 lite coats rather than 1-2 heavy coats. Less of a chance of runs, thick spots.

 

Since the info has been posted already, and I am a post/photo *****, here's mine:


I prefer flat black or satin to be like the original Berger cars.

 

ok just finished, used flat black, hopefully it turns out good when i compare it when it's on my car. and hibachi that is one nice lt1 you got there love how you tied the berger with the flat black spoiler. One thing...I LOVE HIBACHI lol

 

I'm thinking about selling mine. Don't really like how it looks anymore.

But yeah. Its really one of those "figure it out yourself because its soo ******* easy" mod. haha

 

lol yea i figured that out when i started to actually think about iut!

 

Well ****, if i wouldve known it was this easy. I wouldve tried this awhile back lol Where do i get this "self-etching primer" & paint at???

 

i just used dupli color flat black from autozone, no primer just sanded it down to where there was no gloss

 

I used rustoleum.

 

I added that to the Appearance Hall of Fame.

 

I also took pics of mine, it's a less complete write-up but might be of interest nevertheless:

Is that a berger spoiler too?

 

Thank you much I chose Hibachi 'cause it's definition in Japanese means Rice Cooker ... so I cook rice with my Z28... lol..


That's the poor mans spoiler ;-) I am repainting the whole car once I get new front and rear bumper covers. So I figured I'd paint it black (primer looks bad) and keep it that way 'til I finally get it painted (which could be next year at this rate with gas prices).

 

Holy tiny rear tires batman. But on a serious side, that looks REALLY good on your car.

 

Tiny rear tires? lol.. 275/40R17's are tiny? I mean, I know they aren't 325's or anything. I did want to go bigger, but these effers rub bad I need to roll my fenders.
