I really want to shave my door moldings and ive asked around, and god damn it cost a lot. I was just wondering if its possibel to do it my self. If anyone has any experience in this please talk to me. peace

um not really.. this would be hard for you to do yourself because you just dont have the tools or supplies to do it!

You'll basically need to sand down the shit u dont want, then fill it with some special metal mixture that sets, then shave that down smooth, then repaint over it.

Where do you live? i know this one shop that should be able to do it really well for cheap.

well you need to take off the moldings grid the edges to metal weld a peice in to fill up the gap so it is not all putty. the use some putty to make it smooth. it is alot of sanding and and getting it just right. don't do it your self if you have never done anything like this

yea thay make lil pieces of metal that you weld in there...its really not that hard you could do it yourself. i helped a friend do it, and he dident use any metal to help fill in the gap ,it was all filler..you just have to mix the bondo really hot (put a lot of hardener in it). so it doesnt just fall off the car. lol.. good luck

the doors never get used cuz its a 4 door, and we did it to the 2 back ones....

It's going to take alot of time, but you can do it yourself, that's why it costs so much.
