    Most of your posts seem to be about how to take shortcuts around proven and approved methods. Everyone will take a shortcut now and again and hope it doesn’t bite them in the arse.

    i also don’t remember telling anyone to take a short cut on any kind of work being done here.
    the last thing i want is some one telling me, i took the short cut you told me about and it didn’t work.[/quote]
    Just one example

    either way is acceptable. are you going to blend the adjacent panels or just paint the door?

    need a lot more specifics and maybe a picture of your patch

    gonna have a hard time making it look good with a spray can. if you dont have the right equipment to spray it your best bet is to save up some money and have a shop do it.

    [quote]really, your really concern about rock chips. question. how many cars have you repaired with oem factory, never been refinished before, rock chips all across the front end? with due respect. i will not say that i can guarantee rocks. if the factory can not. why should i. plus they put all the undercoats as soon and the parts and covers come off the molds. my jobers tell me the same thing. the question i ask them is this. how many times have i called you about rocks chiping the paint on a car i refinshed? his answer. 0.[/quote]
    Some people take pride in their work…… Some dont :whistle:

    I wouldnt base over a raw bumper that just had adhesion promoter on it….ever.
    why not just base over sanded e-coat also.
    show me a tech sheet from a major paint manufacturer that says just to base over adhesion promoter. Bulldog may say it’s ok but bulldog isn’t warrantying my paint either.
    At least I know when it’s done the proper way it will never come back to bite me in the ass
    :pcorn:

    you should always seal bumper covers. especially raw. you need a good foundation to lay that base on and adhesion promoter just isnt it.
