67-68 stick on trim

[Shortnwide4x4]

I had considered putting trim on my 68 but I also would like to avoid drilling holes. I contemplated filling the molding with a hot glue to make a flat surface then applying the double sided tape to it. No idea if it would work. Just a quick idea... and to avoid too much tape to paint contact it could be staggered rather than using 30lbs of hot glue? lol.

I have had all of these thoughts as well, the trim on these trucks looks so good. I have thought about airbrushed. I have seen trim airbrushed on before, if done right looks very good and you cant tell it's airbrushed until you get right up to it.

When I first saw this thread I though about using "Polymold" - https://www.amazon.com/Polymold-Mold.../dp/B00H3V1GN4

You could fill in the back of the molding enough to put some 3m tape.

If you search google for polymold there are some videos. It is some pretty neat stuff.

If I ever go to take the trim off is 3M tape or polymold going to hurt my paint?

The polymold is just plastic. I believe it is HDPE like a milk jug.

I actually wonder if it would stay in the trim without some type of adhesive. I also wonder how well adhesive would stick to it. I have a chunk of it somewhere around the house. I'll try to see if adhesives stick to it.
