TA hatch painting I have a 94 Formula and purchased an 02 rear TA hatch with tall spoiler. I am about to start to prep for a color change. Any helpful hints with painting I am probably going to paint it off the car. Hang it by the ceiling? build a stand? May have problems getting paint in all the nooks & crannys. I'm sure someone here is done this before any help would be great.
Thanks

It just pulls off. There will be sticky molding adhesive left behind.
As for replacing it.... My Forumla didn't have the molding around the glass anyway. They left it off from the factory. So... I left it off the glass of the T/A hatch.
If you want to put it back on... silicone or molding adhesive would probably work.

If you want a replacement molding... it is still avabile through gmpartsdirect.com
Look for it under the catagory of liftgate. They referenance the part as "lace" part 4. GM part number 10306248.
