They can be painted in place but they will come out much nicer if you
remove them. It is a lot of work and you will break many of the little
screws. If the shop uses the right type of paint for flexible parts it
won't matter about the flex. Look up the paint code in the archive, it
is a Ditzler # but it can be crossed over to all the paint companies.
If you have any doubts about the competance of the shop you might
consider shipping them to one of the Delorean venders. They will deal
with shops that know how to do it right. It probably won't cost any
more to do it that way except for the shipping.

Just had mine painted on the car and they look great.... Ken Koncelik is
a
good person to ask. Hardest part is all the prep and finding a shop that

do it...I have heard price ranges from $300-500

Subject: Re: Automatic shifting troubles
I have a simular problem, except on my car (VIN 5278, gray auto)
it will shift from 1st to 2nd OK, but will not go into 3rd unless you
floor
it and then let off.
This only started happening the other day when it got really cold.
After about 5-10 minutes when it warms up, and finally goes into 3rd,
it is fine again until you let it sit and cool off.
I know that my transmission fluid is "burnt" and have been urged not to
change it
until I am ready for a rebuild.
I don't know if MY problem is fluid related, or computer related.

Subject: Re: Painting Fascias
I just painted a whole bunch of them last weekend and they are ok to paint
on
or off the car.
The paint you use is K36 as a primer from PPG and use 201 as the hardener.
The paint is DBU 33584 and the paint itself has a flexibilixer in it
already
so the paint is no problem. It also goes on heavy and is not bad at
filling a
lot of imperfections.
Usa a DRR 1160, 1170, or 1180 reducer/activator
The clear is where you need to be careful.
I use an Akso Reliance (spelling here) clear but have also use some of the
PPG clears.
The only clear I have not liked using is the Omni AU.
Delstar is nice but that is one of the more brittle clears and it will not
crack on you under normal use but can craze over time and thermal
conditions,
although it is the easiest to put on and the fastest to cure. Adding a
flexibilzer to the clear does little in my opinion to the paint as it
handles fine.
Also the flexibilizers toend ot gas out anyway so go with a clear that
tends to
be flexible anyway. Just go wtih what you are comfotrable with.
You can paint on or off the car it really does not matter to me anyway.
Cost is roughly
$36 for a quart of primer
$19 for the 201
$27 for a pint of paint
$12 for the reducer
$18 for a quart of clear
$18 for the activator
$12 for a reducer if you so choose and I do.
$23 for flexibilizer that you don't need.
This will do up to 4 facias.
Prices are from my memory and may vary a bit but overall thats about it.
Its about $165 for materials or $40 per facia.
Add to that sanding materials, maskin and repair materials and you easily
have over $60 in each facia. It takes about 45 minutes your first time to
mask a
facia. Once you get the hang you can get it down to about 15-20 minutes.
If you remove the facias add about 2 hours to the job plus an hour to
reinstall if you haven't broken any studs.
I have a whole series of photos in the DMCNEWS archive so you can see how
to
do it.
Good luck.
Ken

I know some of you have your magazines already and others have not. They
were mailed a week ago from last Thursday so this is day 10. They went
Media
mail so it is supposed to be a 3-8 day deliver (not including weekends).
If you have not recieved it yet be patient our efficient Post Office will
eventually deliver it (probably after they read it.) If you have not
recieved it
by next week Thursday please let me know so I can report it to the post
office.
If you remember last time a few of them took the scenic route. One mailed
in
April and delivered in July.
Just want to assure all they are out.
Ken
