Love the music. Very calming.

[@richardguerra1712]

Is the any volume on this or is my phone broken?

[@billcurtis6727]

Older cars that sit in the sun will be hard to color match unless you get color mixed paint

What happened to the audio feed?

[@epicwafflemadness]

Great video, whats that M3 masking tape you used to prevent over spray. very useful

[@Automotivetouchup]

It's 3M pretaped masking film.

did you sand down the whole panel and was clear coat applied to the whole panel?

[@Automotivetouchup]

I sanded down the area I primed fairly well, but the rest of the strip was scuffed for mechanical adhesion. The whole panel was clearcoated. I didn't need to basecoat the whole panel though, I just needed to cover the entire panel and I blended out all the way to the end. You can tell on the plastic I was pulling off that the color was concentrated towards the area of damage, and it got lighter to towards the ends.

You could see at a couple shots that he did mask the adjacent panels, I thought he only clearcoated the molding in the middle and not all the way to the ends also until I watched it again, you’re right if he hadn’t masked the adjacent panels there would’ve been over spray all over them, if he hadn’t clear coated the whole molding strip you would’ve seen the new clearcoat running into old clearcoat, also pretty sure he meant the whole molding strip not the whole panel

should I have to use primer to sand? I have a scartch in front plastic bumper, can I just use promoter instead of primer?

[@Automotivetouchup]

You need both. Promoter helps paint bite into the plastic but it can't fill and shouldn't be sanded. If you don't use a sandable primer you can see rings where the transitions of paint to plastic meet. Primer once sanded hides the transition of old paint to bare plastic. It's really up to you and how much effort you're willing to put in. If you skip the adhesion promoter it will look fine, but may be more susceptible to chipping off later down the road. If you skip the sandable primer it won't looks as good as it could.

How long did you wait after painting to remove the masking tape and wrap?

[@wild8757]

Remove it in a few hours, if you wait too long, when you remove the wrap, you could lift up some of your paint on the edges
