Completely Transforming My BMW E30 With 3M Undercoating

[@WM-vl3dm]

Worldwide Garage Club hat sighting on the latest Donut video. Moving up

[@ChromaticGarage]

And that I loved to see. Donut bringing all the right energy to cars.

[@KENTROVERSY86]

Am I the only one who got strange satisfaction from the perfect tire tracks in the opening shots?

[@chrisking6740]

You are not!

[@ChromaticGarage]

Hahaha I also really enjoyed those. Very crisp ☺️

[@henrycollins2478]

That circle at 19:32 was possibly the best thing I’ve seen all day. I don’t have an exciting life.

[@ChromaticGarage]

Hahahaha I also enjoy the little things ☺️

[@brq838]

your videos are the only ones i geniunely like on youtube actually. just to get your ass big enough so you earn a proper living with what you love. keep it coming homie. would love to have you working on my E30 lol

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thank you so much bro! I really really appreciate that. It’s all we trying to do haha. Hope you had a great long weekend 🤝

So mesmerising and calm, hits so different compared to every other car channel out there

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thank you bro! Trying to stay in my own lane over here 🫶

[@jaimeeus]

Happy you made another video. I always look forward to when you upload another video👑

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thanks Jaime! I do love making videos when I have time ☺️

[@hansjorgkarcher9504]

Bro, that’s perfect in any meaning. Work, video and result!! Enjoyed every second of this video!!

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thank you so much man! Glad you enjoyed it 🤝🤎

[@dangale6969]

I swear you time these videos for when I sit down for the evening and open a beer or pour a gin haha 👌 Perfect cinematography every time, thanks man

[@ChromaticGarage]

Haha maybe I time them, maybe you’re just always opening a beer 😳😭

[@dangale6969]

@@ChromaticGarage haha I mean, Super Bowl weekend, there is a good chance of me opening a beer 😂

[@magicwaffl3z]

​@dangale6969 as they say, its superbowl Sunday somewhere

[@andybob1001]

So nicely done. So jealous of a few things: the shop (I wish I had a lift!), your time, and maybe most importantly your patience. Great job!

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thanks dude! Appreciate it

[@rafaelsalcedo184]

Amazing work and the videos keep getting better and better , can't wait till the e30 is ready

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thanks Rafael! Really excited for the next video!

[@PaulinhoThompson]

Watching this on a very wet Sunday afternoon in the U.K. and it's pure chill, thanks fella.

[@aaronb554]

Love the smooth jazz, your channel is classy. Please keep up the great work 👍

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thanks friend! I’ll do my best 🤎🤎

[@PixelVogue]

Would hate to do this job but outcome looks great lol

[@ChromaticGarage]

Haha yeah it’s absolutely terrible tbh. But worth it 😭

[@weberkuo]

How do you resist the urge to take off that super nice Seiko you have from the wrist? I don’t exactly baby my Seiko either but man, I just can’t imagine harsh chemicals splashing on them 🫠

[@ChromaticGarage]

Haha I really enjoy wearing the things I like when doing the things I like. I don’t have sentiment attachment to objects, just the memories of process

[@weberkuo]

@@ChromaticGarage fair enough, and arguably, you might get the sickest patina from exposing it to chemicals 😜

[@craigstrickland1572]

A ton of work but so worth it. Looks good and hopefully this extends the life of that classic

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thanks Craig! Realistically in my ownership it won’t even see rain so as long as I don’t sell it, it’s safe forever haha

[@PeterCox-k1w]

Restoration is rarely done to such a high standard, well done

[@ChromaticGarage]

I really appreciate that bro!!🤝🤝

[@SAVING_ICONIC_MACHINES]

What a pleasure to watch you work ❤ keep up the good work bro, shoutout from the uk 🇬🇧

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thank you so much brotha!

[@perival9547]

Impressive, as usual I'd say, how thorough and clean of a work that is, can't imagine the patience needed and all the little struggles we probably don't see... Sounds like a messy and difficult job to do when you think about it, and so would say all those I've seen trying on KZbin, yet you make it so peaceful and satisfying to watch! Your camera job has been on another level lately, the intro is a work of art 👌 I think that my ultimate dream currently would be to have a workshop like yours, with tons of space and equipment to restore vintage OEM+ BMWs or japanese cars down to the bare chassis. (then I remember I live in a small apartment, and just got my E36 323ti's sills poorly undercoated again because rust always come back... hope one day it can get properly treated like one of your cars! )

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thank you very much my friend! The filming definitely coverers about 5% of the work. The other 95% is usually struggle and complications haha. I think that’s incredible i that you have a car and are able to take care of it. We’re all at different points with people doing much more and much less than us. Gotta really love the journey of where you’re at currently 🤎

[@FredShramovich]

Great job dude, looks really well done and should keep this car on the road for 30 more years!

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thanks Fred! Fingers crossed 🤎🤎

[@m3estoril]

Absolutely gorgeous work and video as always... jaw was on the floor for that reveal

[@ChromaticGarage]

Love you bro! Can’t wait to move onto the moving parts

[@BadE30]

The aesthetics hit different. Mega work. Big up the POR15 too

[@ChromaticGarage]

Forever looking up to your skill bro! Much love 🤎🤝

[@broundgeef48]

the drip, the cars, the drone work at the start, the welcome notes. how does he keep doing it!!? great stuff dude :)

[@ChromaticGarage]

Haha I appreciate you bro! That stuff is big big fun 🤎🤎

[@mickeyward1878]

May I suggest an artist ?? Laurent bardainne and Tigre D’eau Douce, great mood vibing on some horns

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thanks Mickey! Very good music 🤝

[@Lexist-gn5ub]

Caught an easter egg!!!!! The lexus is gone and you have the Porsche now. My guess this episode was filmed awhile ago

[@ChromaticGarage]

I still have the Lexus, I don’t drive the cayenne, and this was last week. Maybe spend some of that energy on making parlays 👍

[@OllyfromTaupaki]

Really keen to understand why you chose this 3M product. I’m about to do the exact same. Although with a very slightly different version 08883

[@BVCHY]

another banger of a video

[@ChromaticGarage]

Appreciate you bro!!🫶

[@bradleynaidoo]

Always a good day when Chromatic uploads 🎉

[@ChromaticGarage]

Haha appreciate you Bradley!

[@amdstrollo3074]

I subbed before I even started watching, I knew this was going to be amazing and I wasn't disappointed

[@ChromaticGarage]

Haha I love that. That’s for watching man!🤝⭐️

[@lucidwerkz]

the opening shots were straight fire my dude. At first with the purple power, i was like damn this man spraying that without a mask, he got iron lungs, then you put the mask on, haha. This E30 turning out so clean man, cant wait to see it all done!

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thanks dude! Hahaha I have never used it full strength before and after one squirt I grabbed the respirator. That stuff is no joke haha

[@SamT_RV]

That shot where you fly sideways into the shop ❤

[@ChromaticGarage]

Appreciate you bro!

[@DirtDude117]

Love the content man! For the POR15 if you use a self tapping screw in the lid instead of popping it off you can get a lot more life out of a can! Just pour it into a small cup and go to town!

[@ChromaticGarage]

thanks man! haha i have heard this so many times. next time, I will listen

[@stephenpowling]

Very neat.

[@ChromaticGarage]

Let’s do yours next!

[@SDE90]

This is God tier stuff right here, folks

[@ChromaticGarage]

Appreciate that dude! 🤎🤎

[@floriansynowitz4954]

Abtut those cans, i forgot the name. If you drill a hole inside the lid and pour out the amount you need and then put a screw inside the hole, ist is supposed to hold much longer.

[@ChromaticGarage]

That’s really interesting! Never heard that. Wish I knew before hand haha

[@amitahluwalia3354]

So timely for me as I’m in the process of fixing rust on my e30 M3. About to order POR15 and 3M undercoating. How many cans of 3M did you go through? Thanks for the great vid 🙏🏽

[@ChromaticGarage]

Awesome man! I hope it goes well. 6-7 cans seems to be perfect 🤝

[@alexrettke6713]

Hey Mike, Always perfect work and your video is really cineastic (are those word exist?)...if i had such an shop, i would live there...greetings from bavaria....Alex

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thank you very much Alex!

[@Audi_ChriS4]

Haters will say the end result is photoshopped. But we know better. Clean job, looks amazing as always.

[@ChromaticGarage]

Hahaha thanks man! Hope you have been doing well 🤝🤝

[@fulviomastrelia7049]

This is just Movie Art for KZbin… im in love with every camera shot that this man do

[@mosha1986]

Chromatic - high level person

[@ChromaticGarage]

Haha thank you bro!🤎🤎

[@LOVE-VIBES-X-PROJECT-CARS]

I thought that stuff was bad because it traps moisture between it and the metal. I know por 15 is great but didn't know you could put anything over it except the topcoat

[@ChromaticGarage]

YOU thought or you heard from some shmuck? Most opinions on this time of work are very bad. This was taken from two shops that lead in restoration of these specific cars

[@LOVE-VIBES-X-PROJECT-CARS]

@@ChromaticGarage uh no.... this is just me asking. Again, I thought the only thing you could put over por 15 base coat was the por-15 top coat. But since this method is coming from restoration shops I'll keep it in mind 👍🏾

[@KwikBuffs]

Is it possible to feel a video? I think I just did. Unreal work as usual bro

[@ChromaticGarage]

Hahaha it is possible. Thank you bro!

[@Haigolig1]

amazing! Well done

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thank you!🤎☺️

[@rg6982]

So soothing

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thanks duddeee!🤎

[@samhulk318i]

Do you have any long term experience with the 3M undercoatings? Like does it seal well and hold up?

[@yaseenabrahams4979]

Attention to detail is insane man, any advice for someone to break out into the Auto Detailing world?

[@nymst]

hey Mike, loved your approach towards the undercarriage, got an e34 myself that needs similar work done, but in Europe we don't have the POR-15, what would u reckon instead (got my eyes on these Brunox products) and 1 more thing, during my research there were several ppl saying that such undercoating is porous and in order for it to seal properly, waxcoating is recommended, how's the 3M holding up so far without such waxcoating?
