[@johntate4638]

It is so awesome to see young people doing such a good job and save money like this. Thanks for the video too. You not only have the talent, but also took the time to share what you know and how to do it. I can not say enough good things about guys like this. We are a dying breed, but thanks to youtube we can all find each other and share ideas and skills now.

John Tate yeeee buddy

First of all you should pre-clean the parts before doing any sanding. Any oils, mold release agents, etc. need to be removed before doing any sanding or else you run the risk of sanding the contaminants right into the surface. Next, your scuffing was rather sparse, you didn't really even get them completely, you want to get that complete overall dullness which you did not. At 1:54 you show them and basically you only have a handful of scuff lines with shiny untouched areas in between. Probably better to use a scuff pad anyway. All said, they did come out looking pretty good.

[@demetriskokos6004]

I never understood why scuffing it up with sand paper is necessary.

[@alexpadilla9938]

What kind of wheels are on the car?

[@nizamrosidan1239]

Hankook if im not mistaken.

[@nizamrosidan1239]

Hankook if im not mistaken

[@megaruhe6296]

He asked what kind of wheels. Not tires.

[@jacobsollows2556]

how do u buy a integera

[@megaruhe6296]

With money.

[@Hermanbey]

my car is black and i have some very small sideskirts i want to glue on the side of the car so it give an audi a4 (b8) sline look, the skirts are small and can only be glued. my question is, cant i just glue it right on after the primer? because i can see that the primer is black, and i dont need another color

[@emjuan5091]

What kind of sandpaper did you use in the beginning to scratch off the polyurethane?

[@thetribeofzebulon4333]

What type of rims are those

[@mylifeisJDM]

+The tribe Of Zebulon Just Rota Slipstreams

[@thetribeofzebulon4333]

Thanks

[@RealEnglishNow]

dude, you did an awesome job! Great video! Straight to the point - I love it.

[@h2336]

How come you didn't sand after you applied the base coat?

[@88ShawarmaKing93]

Cause it's unnecessary.

[@pyaethiha]

What color code would you recommend for gloss black finish for a front lip?

[@Longwsb]

So i messed up on my lip paint. Can i still fix it by restarting all over ?

[@mylifeisJDM]

Corrupted Kid like, the painting process? You can always sand paper it all off with a rough grit, prolly use a paint scraper first to get most of the paint off. Their are other methods if you google around.

[@johnortanez]

Did u end up getting any orange peel?

[@tankconnors7323]

I know this is an old vid..but what if i wanna paint my lip matt black..like my trim? im guessing same thing but no clear coat?

[@evojumpman8806]

Lol what are the chances I live in San Jose Cali

[@SmurkyStopPlayin]

should I wait a day after the primer is done until i sand with the 600 grit?

[@mylifeisJDM]

Depends on the weather and humidity. Generally the primer can will have directions for drying times and if it's warm enough, it will dry in less than an hour. So no, if you live in a warm climate during this time of the year, you don't have to wait that long.

[@MercedJdm]

Do u know if there's a paint that will work on chrome bumper

[@DumbAzzPranks]

my spray can says apply coats within 2 hours or after 8 hours, think I'd be safe doing it sooner than that? aha don't want to take all day to paint my rims lol

[@mylifeisJDM]

Just wait a couple of mins.

[@RunninBearPoo]

Great stuff dude very helpful, informative, and entertaining. Keep up the good work.

[@mylifeisJDM]

Gracias 😁

[@kennethwinters746]

mylifeisJDM every place I looked they wanted 20dollars just for paint inhibitor

[@mylifeisJDM]

Kenneth Winters you mean adhesion promoter? Reply w/ a link to what you mean. $20 sounds like a gallon of whatever rather than a can.

[@MikeandSamonPC]

Where you get the paint color from? What color is it

[@mylifeisJDM]

Just from O'Reilly's. It's the stock color. Clover green pearl.

[@anthonygallardo84]

mylifeisJDM will this work on valve covers

[@mylifeisJDM]

anthony gallardo Ya. Valve covers are simpler. Just strip the paint. Primer once or twice and then spray any color. Cheap spray paint will work. Don't worry about engine heat. regular spray paint can handle it. Source: me

[@anthonygallardo84]

mylifeisJDM thanks for the info

[@kennethwinters746]

[@chanthanperez-kan2470]

Hey awesome job .do you have the link to where you bought the sideshirt I’m looking to do the same to my civic ? Thanks

[@mylifeisJDM]

Thanks! It's these ones from Bayson R via eBay. I can't vouch for the other slightly cheaper ones and they might be the exact same product but ya, this is the exact replica mugen spats I got. www.ebay.com/itm/Mu-gen-style-Rear-Spats-Caps-Lip-Valences-Aprons-PU-Fits-99-00-Civic-2dr-EK-/350837121372

[@StanceLukas]

how many coats of Adhesion Promoter did apply?

[@StanceLukas]

2-3

[@Raijin13]

With the adhesion promoter, did you wait 10 minutes between each coat?

[@mylifeisJDM]

Not really. I want to say I waited about 60 seconds between each coat. A.P. dries quickly. If in doubt, the can gives the definitive instructions.

[@Raijin13]

+mylifeisJDM Thanks man. Best informative video I've seen so far! It helps a lot. You went far and beyond and it's appreciated bro. Thanks again!

[@chavang2362]

how much you get your exhaust for?

[@erodriguez0531]

[@karlsolitario8013]

[@mylifeisJDM]

Thank u. Check out VIS racing. They have new replica ones for -200.

[@SofaKingSteezy]

+mylifeisJDM thanks man, $200 shipped?

[@triniwarrior16]

What year is your car? Because I like your bumper and I wanted to know if I can get one too. My one is a 97

[@mylifeisJDM]

Mines a 99. They make BYS replicas for 96-98 too!

[@kylesampson5932]

Hey man were did you go to get your paint . I've searched a few places were im from and can't seem to find this color .

[@karlsolitario8013]

Kyle Sampson Autzone, Oreilly has them

[@MannyLokstahh]

Nice BYS bumper man.. Needing one soon!

[@mylifeisJDM]

Thanks! I lucked out on a used one on Craigslist. VIS racing sells a replica one for $300 (shipping included.)

[@Mano-ep3tv]

To cook the Paint just use an hair dryer on low speed and medium temperature....point it into the pieces with a distance of 40cm and they will get dry and good looking very fast.

[@88ShawarmaKing93]

But you'll blow a whole lot of dust in the Paint too.

[@Mano-ep3tv]

+Andreas Scharrer it depends where you do it ;-)

[@johntate4638]

Here is an idea. Plan ahead. Clean the room you are doing this in extremely well. Use the cheap plastic you can get anywhere to just block off areas that are to dusty to clean entirely. YOu can make a dust free work space in less than 30 mins. If you are still worried about dust in the air after that. Grab and old filter or new filter from your home ac or furnace and cut just enough off to cover the intake on the hair dryer. Magic free cheap filter. I would recommend taking the hair dryer apart and cleaning it before using it to do this though. Most hair dryers people don't clean the intake and heating element as often as the should. Make sure to clean it all out. Use a compressed air first then fine clean after that. All these tips and tricks for a great paint job are saving you money from having to pay someone;

[@mprwalker]

Very useful video for the home garage guy!

[@nyema54321]

Nice job

[@mylifeisJDM]

[@Nperez1986]

[@mylifeisJDM]

Nope, still holding up. Little stones chipped at it but whatever. Took a photo for you today what it looks like right now. imgur.com/a/nLSTT

[@ivanvazquez4382]

You should make a video of your car with its current setup, it looks great on the air walker/ bys front bumper!

[@twoshayshirley]

[@flyinbrianz22]

[@mylifeisJDM]

[@domojim]

Did you sand it before you put adhesion promoter?

[@jflexiko]

Alex Lopez you sand everything before you paint anything, wouldn’t make sense to anything else

[@chavang2362]
