I just use Meg. 2000 Uni-grit paper. bondo recommended it to me. its great.
I just use a 1” durablock and knock down the nib, and I am good to buff. That paper cuts like 1000 and leaves a 2k scratch. I don’t think anyone will really notice there is a smooth part.
thanks for the advice on the fogs, these were defintely some of the deeper fogs I have shot in a while. Anyways if I don’t get hired in August back to be a teacher, I might be at a shop.
The advice is apperciated Ben, thanks!! :cheer:
I think the problem i had was that my clear hardened a bit too fast (like you said), and I got that dry spray while going over the areas around the fog light. The overspray didn’t melt into the fog light openings because it was already flashing off. Just a theory.
Well I charged extra because it wasn’t the correct cover and I explained the whole texture thing to her. Basically she needed it done asap so her kids wouldn’t see she screwed up her bumper (ahshamed I guess, kids were at dad’s for weekend) i charged $260 to do it. The fog light thing was unexpected so I waived it. I don’t mind because it is good experience for me. These fog covers actually didn’t ghost on me. Should have gotten pics..
Looking great painter! Thanks for posting, what was the damage on the rear hatch?
[quote=”jim c” post=20772]Yeah i dont agree with that at all. If you have the right procedure for your sanding and buffing you will tegain 100% of the clarity.[/quote]
yea i totally agree, and it should look even better. Thats why you cut and buff.
What’s up with the fiberglass?
[quote=”painter123″ post=20479]Adhesion promotor on the bare plastic. and alittle 814 flex additive in that primer should take care of that issue and that primer looks like its got 1/2 inch build on it.. so flex additive wouldn’t help much if its that thick..[/quote]The primered was on scuffed up clearcoat, as this was not a bare plastic bumper. I am going to chalk this one up as a learning experience to not build up the primer so thick.
Once I work on it, I will take pictures of me sanding it down.
Question.
What should I sand it all off with before re-primering, 180? Prime, 320-400
lild, I am positive there is no filler behind it. This area was far away from the repair and were just fingernail scratches.
I laid on the primer to thick and this is the result I assume.[quote=”bloverby” post=20465]I’ve had that omni primer crack on bumper covers. Usually in a corner or something when it’s hammered on.[/quote]I can contest to putting it on heavy, While playing around with it to get it to come out.:cens
Thought so, this is when I used that Omni mp282 and I couldnt get it to spray out, i think I went a bit to heavy.

[IMG]http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e25/nexson1/3rd%20album/IMG_3375.jpg[/IMG]Yea. Well I will keep an eye on it, as i see the car everyday, see if I see any sinkage, but like you said, should be fine.
I 320’d then scuffed with a gray.
I suppose I should, once I recollect myself.
was waiting for your reply lild 😉
he was just in a video I started making, I can’t finish the rest.
