How to Install a Cervini's Saleen Style 4 Piece Body Kit on Your 1987-1993 Mustang

Notice: Prefit Before Painting. Install new, unpainted parts according to these instructions. Then remove parts, paint them and re-install.

Painted or Altered Parts are Non-Refundable

Included in the hardware packet is a roll of 2-sided tape. After the ground effects have been painted, install the 3M 2-sided tape along the guideline 1/8” away from the outer edge as shown in fig. A, B & C. Remove tape backing and press onto the car. The surface temperature where the 2-sided tape is contacting must be a minimum of 75º F. Allow 2-sided tape to dry 24 hours before driving.

VERY IMPORTANT: The following painting procedures MUST be followed EXACTLY for PROPER ADHESION and to prevent fish eyes.

1. To remove any mold release contaminants, clean the back of the part first. Using 2 new clean rags, saturate the first rag with plastic prep cleaner* and begin cleaning. Then use the second rag to remove the prep cleaner. Continuously fold both rags to their clean sides during the process. Use 3 sets of new rags throughout the process. This prevents mold release contaminants from transferring to the painted surface.

2. Repeat step one on the front of the part.

3. Rinse the part with water. Apply a generous amount of Ajax® or sand fix* to a red scuff pad* (3M Scotch Brite Brand) and scrub the surface to be painted THOROUGHLY, especially on all the edges and hard to reach areas. Then rinse with water and dry. The scrubbed surface should be dull. If any shiny spots show, repeat the process on those areas.

 4. Using another set of clean new rags, again clean the surface to be painted with plastic prep cleaner.

5. Spray the surface to be painted with adhesion promoter* (follow the instructions on the can for application and drying time).

6. Apply 3 to 4 coats of urethane primer* with flex additive* (follow the instructions on the can for application and drying time).

7. Wet sand primer with 600 grit sandpaper. Be careful not to sand through the primer. If you do, you MUST clean those areas with plastic prep cleaner, apply adhesion promoter and prime. Once the primer has dried, wet sand the areas that were touched up. Your surface is now ready for paint.
