@Stu650Zuk5 жыл бұрын
I'm very picky as well how things are put together. I did professional car interior restorations, show cars, boat sails, tonneau covers etc. for years long ago. One little tip to help you for another time is to use the 1" line on your tape measure as your starting point instead of the clip on the end of the tape measure. It keeps the tape measure flat this way, instead of the hook end being up high and the other end flat. The hook end of a tape moves back and forth to, not helping at all!! Closer yet is making the mark with the outer or inner edge of the black line on the tape. At the other end use the same side of the line as the first measurement. (Yep even the width of the line on the tape measure can make things unequal for super tight tolerances. Ask a carpenter about that when they are cutting and lining up the inner and outer tooth of the saw blade to the edge of that pencil mark instead of just cutting down the line.) Use a soft lead pencil for your measurement marks, sharpened to a perfect point. It rubs off easily with your finger afterwards. You then align your pencil mark measurements down the hood to form a perfect line end to end. Use auto painters tape.(thin and leaves no residue) Stick it to the outside edge of your marks lining them up down the hood. You now have a perfect guide with no guesswork or remeasuring all the way down to install the vinyl inside the 3M tape line you made. Another simple tip that helps for aligning the hood stripe to the bumper stripe below is to tape a length of fishing line exactly on the edge of your hood vinyl strip on both sides. Use a split shot weight on the other end of the fishing line. It will hang perfectly vertical to form a line to install the next piece of vinyl down on the bumper.But still find points to measure using the same technique stated earlier to double check. Sorry, long post, easier for me to show than explain. Just a couple of old school simple tips for this type of work. Hope I made some sense. You did great on your own for sure as always. Being a perfectionist really shows our pride in what we do no matter how long it takes. Its why I watch your channel. If only I had my eagle eyesight back again...grrr! Looks awesome!!

Good job Alex. Never been a huge fan of stripes but to each their own ;) I think it looks better without the white pin stripe as there’s nothing else white on your car. I’d personally wrap the mirrors and roof gloss black and ditch the white pinstripe. If you are adamant about the pinstripe...add a black one offset about 1/8” from edge of stripes. Keep up the great work bro! Cheers

That has to be a big help with eliminating bubbles. Thanks for sharing.

I noticed how you could see the orange peel through the vinyl (the reflection from the shop light ), too bad you didn’t think of wet sanding the paint smooth to a mirror finish that way that orange peel would be gone and the decal would look smooth, not saying you have to do the whole hood just where the decal lays down, but that would require a little more time.
