Krown
« on: November 17, 2013, 02:32:34 pm »
Anyone get krown done without holes drilled?

I've had it done on other vehicles, however, my gut is telling me not to drill into a brand new galvanized vehicle...

I'm thinking the body panels will be OK for a long time without any intervention other than washing, waxing..   

But a nice dousing underneath and in the wheel wells where all the salt action is might be a good idea..

I have been going non drilled. Opinion seems to be divided on whether its safe/necessary.

Yup. When I had it done by the shop, I used to bring it in with the door panels removed (not so easy on some vehicles). I've been spraying my own cars for almost 15 years.

Ask them to not drill holes and to pull (and then replace) rubber body plugs. Doors can be accessed by the rubber boots that feed the wiring to them.
