Customize your weather tech floor mats!
Okay, don't beat me up on this DIY as I just wanted to share how you can have some sweet looking mats
What you Need: -Digitial fit weather tech floor mats -1/16th x 1-1/4" x 3 FT of alum. flat bar stock from your local hardware store. -Sand paper 240 and 320 grit - SS emblembs that come with tape on the back side -valspar clear anti-rust spray paint (says no yellowing) - Epoxy to glue them down What you Do: -Remove sticker decal that says "weathertech floor mats" in the floor mats -Use it as a stensile and trace it on the aluminum bar stock. -cut it out -going only ONE direction with the 240 first. Make about 30 passes going in only one direction (the long ways). -switch over to 320 grit and repeat. -wipe off with alcohol. -I used a little of metal polish to get it shinny (optional). -measure and place decals on the inside -paint (I put on 3 to 4 coats). -epoxy the back and stick on the mats Sit back and enjoy Wasnt too expensive. with all the supplies and decals about 15 bucks per floor mat. I also will do the trunk one too. I ordered my Camaro 2013 1le 1ss that isnt here yet and who knows when it will show up so I keep finding projects to kill the time |
