hey peoples decided to finally paint some bits on me car.
i should be finished by monday, atm im just sanding /preparing surfaces as i want to do this properly the first time round.

just a few questions, when sticking the bits back on, like this one Here (http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a52/dodgeviper89/CarPaintingPics006.jpg) what should i use to stick it back on? i was thinking just a body moulding tape, its double sided and has a thin peice of foam in the middle, well, something squishy anyway.

now i work tomorrow (SCA) so if anyone knows what i should use to stick these back on that would be great, as i dont want to have to clamp these bits on overnight or something.
was even hoping liquid nails could do the job, but yeah if anyone knows what i should use to sick em back on please tell me :cool:

here are some pics of it in the making
