Bolting accessories to fresh paint


Recommended Posts

I'm fixing up an off-brand truck and i just got the cab back from the body shop.  I'd like to know what you guys use when bolting mirrors, grab handles, etc to freshly painted sheet metal.  On cars I've done in the past I've used 3M 08578 strip call with good success.  Just wondering if I'm better to get a sheet of Teflon or rubber and cut some gaskets.   It looks like the last guy put some duct tape in there.   That appears to have worked ok, but I'd perfer something with a little more "seal" to it if that makes any sense.  Thanks, Andy

I use 3 M double sided trim tape. Some stickness and enough flex to water and weather seal
