I'm 3 months into owning my first 1988 300zx and I love it! Jumping into the restomod addiction! Your videos are awesome! Please keep them coming! Your Z31 rocks a true inspiration!

[@hemi08911]

From what I've seen on KZbin the SEM paints lay down the smoothest out of all brand spray paints for Autos.

[@digitalspreee1221]

I really like the work along with your care, time and effort you put into your whip It looks great Thanks for the vid n imma try and find that same or similar black paint trim. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@MaalyJay]

That black out makes a huuuuuuuuge difference. Great job

[@arthurreilly6258]

Just saw your excellently done video, and have decided to redo the trim on my 1981 Porsche 928..Came anodized from the factory, but 40 years later it's starting to "edge". Already ordered the SEM Trim Black.

That ride is clean man 👌🏼

[@sebastianbisono9162]

Beautiful work, mad props

[@fstnfurz]

Looks badass man! Great job!

[@Lkarlos300]

Sweet Z, im going to do this to my 90 300zx, Thank you.

[@BillClay88]

Wow, excellent job man, patience is everything. Artistic prep skills. I've used vinyl in past. Doesn't hold up more than 6 mos before peeling and bubbling sometimes, I'm no expert. Think I'll have my buddy who's in auto body do this. Hopefully gives me a deal. Worth it. Like vinyl, but again, doesn't last.

[@michaelboisselle8590]

Beautiful job, I have to do mine over, the painter did them about 6years ago and I don't think he used an etching primer as they are scratching easily, thanks for the info

Dude beautiful car as it is!

[@adamdanielson3047]

What’s your wheel setup if you don’t mind me asking, looks awesome

[@caycebennett8667]

Nice! Helpful tip: use a 1” or thinner tape around corners because it can stretch smoother than a 2”. Then you can stick your 2” around that wider radius.

If the trim surface is plastic do I need to use etching primer? I am painting my front grill piece and I will be sanding the area first.

No. He doesn't respond to subscribers in the comment section

[@alexsanmiguel4308]

Hell naw you trippen. Chrisfix actually talks instruction through instruction. This guy didn’t even say anything as far as what sand paper to use or even paint because he used multiple. This video is pretty pointless and doesn’t show you shit besides him painting his chrome black. This video was useless if you want to learn how to do it.

How has the trim paint held up over time? You did an amazing job on it. Looks fantastic. Thank you for the video.

[@trevorstrayer7670]

probably started pealing 3 weeks later

[@zhongxena1155]

Lasts just as long as original if you prep right , you paint layer is only as good as your prep , I work in a bodyshop and we use SEM for refinishing trim it’s pretty industry standard and it is the best you can use for trim.

[@zhongxena1155]

@@trevorstrayer7670 Use a red scotchbrite scuff pad on the surface you’re painting then wipe down with 99% rubbing alcohol or wax and grease remover then spray it. paint sticks inside of the micro scratches , if shit is peeling it wasn’t sanded or scuffed depending on what you’re spraying on & that’s for painting Anything not just cars.

[@NJcozzi]

What's the actual primer that you used? I see that you said Duplicolor, but is it the self etching one? Also, how has it held up?

[@Mark-OutWest]

You etch metals, not the fake chrome they put on plastic. Just get an adhesion promoter and sand it.

[@realitycheck3672]

Use a non gloss clear coat

[@OmaBike]

Hi. Looks great. How's the paint holding up? I see somebody else asked and you haven't responded. I know it's easy enough to repaint it, but it would be good to know.

Ha… nvm had the volume to low just rewatched your vid 👍🏽

Killer Tip: Use plastic Fineline tape. It can be curved around corners, zero bleed and both solvent and abrasion resistant! Oh and zero residue !

@@TheSuperdodgy but it wont chip over time? primer, paint and clear coat, or i can save up and wrap them or plasti dip

[@TheSuperdodgy]

@@robi6713 Short answer .. yes eventually. But if you prep it well, ensure you give nice even coats, 3-4 of each (etch, base and clear) it will last years. I did mine, I sold the car after 4 years and it still hadnt chipped or faded. However, it was garaged it's whole life. Like anything, you made need to do it again but the joys of maintain a car right?

Damn I feel your pain. You got a hell of a lot of chrome on that car. I hate chrome. You definitely want to use a respirator with SEM as they have nasty carcinogens in them and can cause birth defects if you want a family. Good job!

[@myemail2005]

Nice job! Guess what though!?! I bet if you wiped that blue SUV parked next to your car with a towel you'd find it was coated with your black overspray!!! How do I know that? Because I accidentally did it to my neighbors brand new car many years ago. I didn't realize it till months after he complained about driving through something that coated car. OOPS!!! I was painting in only a fraction of the wind you had in your video. SO...be careful doing this in any wind. Paint does not dry instantly and will stick to whatever it lands on. You could even get over spray on your house!!!

[@KCnLex]

wish you would have skipped a bunch of the cover up of car and slowed down the actual spray painting (and commentary on that part would have helped too.)
