Making a Fiberglass Bumper Lip

[@GTsPerformance]

Hello guys, I want to thank everyone for watching this video and taking the time to comment. One of the most commented things is to Wear a Mask for safety, and to use a thinner to Save on Brushes. Rest assured, I will definitely take those tips in consideration for my next fiberglass project. Once again, Thank You and God Bless!

[@gearxcustoms1728]

The cheaper and best way To keep the brush clean is washing powder, just mix some wasing powder in the water and clean the brush b4 it gets hard

[@ec1343]

Thank you for the tips, your video helps a lot!

[@Sim-cd8sx]

Man this guy is great.i will surely use this idea to make one on for my car...

[@fareedanasir526]

sir what u put on bumber? check on u r video time duration at 2.18. kindly reply.

Thinner for the brushes?? I know you were just being polite bro and that is very cool of you to not be a dick to your subscribers like many other channels would have done. That being said, allow me to take that role for you!! Are you people eating paint chips?? For real!! First of all if you have ever worked with fiberglass resin then you would know how thick and sticky it is. You would use 3 dollars in thinner to save a 89 cent chip brush. I never went to school for any type of accounting or book keeping but I can say that is not a good idea to do! LoL for real though, those chip brushes he is using are made for one time use for projects like this one. You can get them for around a dollar depending on the size and even less if you get them by the box. Plus when he showed how to stick the brush in the mixing tub then letting it dry and pulling it out in one big chunk like that is oh so satisfying for some reason! Dont ask me why because I cant tell you exactly why, but it just is!! The part with the safety glasses and a mask though I definitely agree with everyone else on that! Its itchy and when its hot having on a mask really sucks, but years from now you will be glad you did!! Part looks awesome too by the way!

i just want to say, I used to work in a carbon fiber/ fiberglass shop. We made everything from go karts to airplane wings, You need the roller to remove all the small air pockets in the material, You may not see them but small air pockets can cause it to splinter after a short amount of time and crack, it will give you a longer part life if you roll it, You need a respirator, you dont want it in your lungs, Clear fibers that you cannot cough up. Think about that, one other thing is I would save some time and money and just grab a dremel with a cutting tool, a grinder is okay, but you can cut faster and more precise with a dremel with a cutting wheel.

[@tanner.quintero]

How resistance is the fiberglass? It can support small hits?

[@dylanjoseph6010]

Yo bro trust me... your more of a car guy than 90% of this rich spoiled mommy and daddy’s boys on youtube. Great stuff bro

[@GTsPerformance]

Thank you, and I appreciate your concern! I will definitely be more safe with future projects 🙏

[@joseluiscastillo7161]

[@nick011182]

I like your diy approach instead just buying stuff and bolting it on. It shows that with some patience and hard work you can build anything. Great job!

[@freeshavacado3959]

Nice work man. I attempted this years ago and failed. You did a hell of a job in this video. I like that "shake the hell out it" test at the end!

[@codylawellin8751]

Have to say this is one of the most detailed DIY car projects I have seen

[@GTsPerformance]

Thanks! I also have a video on DIY canards, if you're interested. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZDNfH6rrKhpb5Y

[@bobs152]

Way cool, fiberglass is interesting to work with. I helped fix a family members old wood boat, and learned it will make you itch like crazy.

[@ayn30]

Hahahaha yeah i cant sleep at night after fiberglass work. Its really uncomfortable and itchy

[@avantpatria]

Instead of wasting brush, you can immerse the brush onto the paint thinner every time you want to take brake for the new layer. I only use 1 brush for each project.

[@vlogan3672]

I look through 100 videos and then finally I found this one. The one I needed. Thank you I needed this

[@JoseHernandez-vm7fu]

I really need someone as good as you with fiberglass to get my fiberglass hood prepped and ready for paint great job man 👍🏽

[@waddlescustom4637]

Great work. Seriously some of the best fiberglass work I've seen.

Looks good bro! I have been doing the same for my ss cobalt. Yes be safe but you are outside. Plenty of fresh air.

That came out really good

[@builtbycarma]

Damn thats clean. Nice work

[@Niskovic1]

Hi man, great video! How many layers fiberglass did you do? And do you have a video or picture of the final product? Cheers

[@Andres-a-moore]

Awesome video! I think I am now confident enough to make some fibre glass pieces for my car 🤔 looks fairly simple, just follow instruction for the resin and brush on 👍🏼👍🏼

[@giovannybaez2648]

I love the chill music made me feel like I was playing Minecraft

[@isonovoso8312]

Great work my man! attention to detail step by step.

[@hiramgeary496]

you need a mask bro

[@GTsPerformance]

Hiram Geary yea! and I have one, but it's the chemical mask I use for painting. its bulky and heavy tho. I was already past halfway grinding off the edges when I thought of it

[@hiramgeary496]

GT's Performance well it looks good wish I could see it done

[@GTsPerformance]

Hiram Geary I'll update it soon. I'm working on other fiberglass things at home

[@vincevegacustoms754]

[@aserodriguez1425]

Awesome job bro

[@SladeWashingtonSVR]

1 question: how long does the mixture of resin last during applications to put on the fiberglass before it dries? Thanks for putting out this vid, bro. I've been searching for a custom shop to mold a body kit for my car but there are none in site or none that I can afford. With this fiberglass tutorial, I'll be able to make my own kit!

Hi there. First of all, I've watched this video multiple times to get someone guidance and tips on how to do my first ever Fibre glass project. Please could you share the ratios to use.

When r u planning on completing the front bumbers eargely waiting to see the end product.and start on the rear bumpers.causei am planning on doing the same on my car aswell....this initative of urs will help a lot of ppl save tons of money saved.Watched ur video for the first time today and i was like what........amazing stuff bro keep onn.

[@TheInkhousecustoms]

See you used alot of brushes. You could clean the brushes in lacquer thinner in between steps to make your brushes last longer.

[@GTsPerformance]

Drew Nottz I buy the brushes from harbor freight. These 2" come in a box of 36 for about $12, but I guess you're right.. I could extend the life just by cleaning them once or twice, and save a few coin on the long run. 🙂👍

[@89Mirageman]

GT's Performance I'm betting it's cheaper to toss them like you've been doing. Thinner is expensive and that resin is so sticky I doubt you'd get them clean.

Cool budd I have that car but with the cyborg rubber bumper with the type r front lip and I will be mounting the stock front lip but i have to make some cut here and there.

[@ramanjitsingh4340]

Beautiful

[@AMIN206r15]

safety alert: for all of you want to do this... you need a proper full face mask and full skin cover. fiberglass small pieces can go to your eyes skin and lungs just consider these are very small pieces of glass. also the hardener and resin are very dangerous you do not want it in your eyes you will end up loosing them also you do not want them on your skin ... full face mask and full skin cover if you wanna do this

One of the best homemade fibreglass kit making videos in youtube so far. Next time maybe use a respirator mask because the fume is not a pleasant thing to inhale. Keep up them good work mate.
