Should You Replace or Restore OEM Parts?

This is an expensive part that has been an absolute nightmare the whole way. From literal trash to a finished, usable piece wasn't easy. In this, I finish the front valance for the Trans Am and we decide if it was worth the effort over just buying a new one...

Looks a good result to me & a good saving as well 👍

[@LoganDidItYT]

Thank you! It’s definitely a good feeling to see it come together in a good way.

[@jamesmace29]

It actually looks really good! And btw I’m stealing “attackle!” 😂

[@LoganDidItYT]

Thanks, man! And, haha: steal it, it’s a good one!

[@Knownworldwide]

Looks great bro! Will you have to cut and buff it?

[@LoganDidItYT]

Thanks! I probably don’t have to, any orange peel that was these is basically all flowed out and flat now. That’s the good thing about slow reducers and hardeners. But… I probably will do that any way.

@@LoganDidItYT man I wish I had somewhere to paint a car. I have access to a paint booth but it’s only for maybe 1-2 days max and I don’t want to be rushed.

[@LoganDidItYT]

If you can get it all prepped and primed and one good cleaning before going, clean it at the booth again and get right to it. You can get it done in about 2 hours. After painted, let it sit for the day! You should be fine!

@@LoganDidItYT no where to prime it. I wish but I live in the city man. HOA, people come out with binoculars just to check on everything. Stupid California.

[@LoganDidItYT]

I know a place 🤷🏻‍♂️

🙄 *promo sm*

[@LoganDidItYT]

What promo? Wait are you saying promoting Eastwood? Dang, I’d love to get paid to do that… but if that is what you mean then you need to watch the whole thing again. I actually don’t recommend that product (so… I’m not sure what the promotion would be).
