    just going through a complete re-paint on my 348 and the paintshop can't work out what the matt black applications are.

    Between the upper and lower body parts and in the air inlets in the C-pillar there are matt black applications which seem as though they could be a sticky foil - or are they simply masked and painted?

    Thanks for any help!

    Thanx,

    is that also a self adhesive foil in the air intakes?

    It is some kind of filler. No Doubt has the name and manufacturer available. It is not tape or paint. If I recall it is a 3M product.

    Ah, that explains why the paint shop can't determine what material it is! I'll give NoDoubt a pm. Thanx.

    Nice one, Daniel. Thanx.

    Any ideas on the air inlet duct?

    Sorry. It took me a little while to find the old thread but it is referred to here:
    http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=95708&highlight=silicone+joint
    the product is according to MDshore348 a 3m body seam sealer.
    I believe this is what you are referring to.

    No! What you are referring to is the seam between the rear fender and the sails. Some cars came with a strip of black caulk. What is being referred to in this thread is the black bit that is in the air intake that is inside the 'C' pillar....and I don't have a clue what it is!

    I was asking about that strip of black caulk at a ferrari gathering today. Why do some 348's have it, and others don't? Personally, I don't like the way it looks, and would like to remove it.

    Sorry. To continue the slight hijack, I like the black stripe between the fender and flying butress panel.
    Good luck with the search...

    not sure what is meant there - is it along the joint which always cracks? My 348 doesn't have it.
