I would get this buffer 100 times over
Hey Ryan do you use water based before or after solvent wax and grease remover and how long do you wait between cleaning between the two?
x3 but you can get it cheaper then that
I tink i paid $150 with the bag and two wool pads included.
GREAT job jimmo. i bet you won’t accept a job like this for a while!
I would suggest that even more on a cover because it helps out with rock chips. Make sure to use adhesion promotor on the bumper
ha, i mis read it.
I think you will be fine with scuffing it and shooting a sealer, then basecoat.
the others will chime in and give you exact advice but in the mean time, HOW HUGE was that pothole, geeezzz!!
Interesting, you still spray the PVA for everything right?
I actually have a 2 part flexiable plastic epoxy used for filling plastic scuffs on bumpers. Could I mix up a bunch of that stuff and pour it into the negative mold? Wondering if that would make a totally flexible part like the original.
Jim, quick question.
What would you reduce the gelcoat by (with acetone)? I had a tough time spraying the black gel coat out of my 2.3mm. I think i need a bigger tip.
Sounds good, I appreciate the help, since this was my first time and am a total noob at this. I still have the negative mold so this time I will just add a just enough gel coat to cover all parts of the negative, then fill the rest in with fiberglass? Does that sound about right?
Just being curious here..
Do you think this trim piece double sided taped to the side of the car is really going to be under pressure? I understand the thickness should be built out out glass, but just curious because it will just be sitting there, looking pretty. However it is no big to pour a little gel coat in there to get the mold shape, then add glass.
Man, that looks fantastic blover, great job, great job!
thanks bondo!

good call Jim,
I am going to sand down the back about 1/8” and add a layer of glass for strength.
good deal. Thanks for the tip.
I will update with pics once i add the pipe.
would it be a big issue to add copper to my existing black iron pipe. i think i can get away with about another 30 feet if i run my piping horiztonally across, back and forth in my garage
