A Transformative Detail On A BMW E30 - A Short Film

[@lucidwerkz]

Most people don't realize this is 40+ hours of detailing, then 5+ hours of setting up shots, then 10+ hours of editing, to produce this beautiful condensed 40 minute masterpiece.

[@AutoMotivate]

Exactly. I have two channels, and my second channel is focused on projects. Setting up shots take up a lot of time, especially the way Chromatic does it. Always messing with the best lighting that you can produce, getting the right angle, all while not being in the way of the shot. It is a process.

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thank you dude! It is quite excessive but it is and will be the only way I will do it haha. Appreciate you!

[@tomszyb7834]

Yeah great video and I bet you was worth it , I watch videos like this to chill out an it's working 😊👍

[@granularautospa3802]

It take times, 👀 , passion and creativity and motivation and sense of humor hard work dedication. I myself, my phone and camera 🎥 SD Card are full . But no video to show for it. Although some people would drop a RAW video Got. Views in the Ks & Ms

[@tadscott5254]

It’s one thing to be doing all this detailing work, but it’s a whole different thing when you add in all the establishing shot that make this not just another detailing video, but a story.

[@ChromaticGarage]

I really appreciate you acknowledging that stuff friend! It is a lot but I couldn’t do it any other way 🙂

[@jdmfreak22]

I'm 39 y/o. I've loved (an obsessed over) E30s for almost 3 decades now. I love this channel. This series makes me warme inside xD

[@ChromaticGarage]

That’s what I like to hear man! I would have absolutely loved to have been around to see E30s in their natural habitat as a roll out from BMW. So rad! I’m glad you enjoy 🖤🤝

[@Namesi]

I feel like I'm stealing getting to watch this for free. I don't know what's more beautiful, the cars and attention to detail or the cinematography. Truly, thank you for making my days at work suck less.

[@jdmfreak22]

man you make this stuff look easy. this mans channel definitely needs to be seen more. amazing stuff

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thank you so much man! It’s growing haha, slowly 🙂🖤. Absolutely zero complaints

[@ColoradoStreaming]

Polishing black factory paint on a classic car is one of the most harrowing things you can do. One motion thats not absolutely smooth will give you a swirl mark.

[@AmraphelofShinar]

The warning on the trunk is something I need for the hood on my '92 Camaro. If a new tech starts working at my buddy's shop, I make sure to watch and see how they try to open the hood (if they can even get it open, it sticks) and then run out to stop them to show them how to open it. It has a mind of its own.

[@ChromaticGarage]

Hahaha yeah old latches have a mind if their own. Kinda fun though 😎

[@Whynotgarage]

You should get the rupes Scorpio 3 for wet sanding the bigger surfaces. I just bought it and it has made a big difference. I started doing my cobra by hand a just couldn’t take it anymore. Cuts down on time and saves your hands a bit lol. The best paint jobs and polishing jobs are always the ones that look like a damn mirror. I love it!

[@Whynotgarage]

P.s. I laughed hard when I saw the note on the deck lid. I just got done with detailing a Silva that was imported from japan and the deck lid came up so hard and with so much force I thought I broke the damn thing 😂

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thank you amber! I know the palm sanders are damn near necessary for a production style setting but I really do love doing it by hand granted I have the time to haha

[@zeek050]

hey man! love your channel. couple questions for you. I see that you have really only used manual wet sanding. Do you recommend or like machine sanding? Also I noticed you used the 3in Rupes on the small Exterior part of the A pillar - Do you find a benefit over the Nano?

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thanks yo Ezequiel! So the sanding is really just preference, I prefer doing it by hand. But body shops will do it by machine because it’s faster. And the 3 inch rupes is more powerful, especially on panels with concave like that 🖤

[@blakewilliams9642]

Beautiful video!! I've watched a few times as inspiration on my own e30. What kind of trim restore paint are you using on the wipers and wiper trim? Would you ever use that on the grill rather than the Gtechniq C4 that you used? Or is that a no go? Cheers!
