I just started shopping this but I want to drive my car but this pain is not as durable as the original I think, maybe its the clear coat not thick or hard enough or maybe my painter used a lower quality paint? I have 3 chips all my fault , something bumped or hit but this seems to be way too easily chipped. SO before I have one chip on front hood or back, I am want to do a clear wrap or clear bra , on the whole surface.
I just saw an episode of the Bitchin' Rides and they did a whole car. no idea what product the used but I cant afford to pay someone else to do this. So it will be a do it yourself project. and I spent too much on paint and body to have to do this again in a few years! and I want to drive the car on the road some with out worrying about every piece of sand or bug etc possibly causing a chip. Anyone with experience doing this? please share your thoughts and experiences here! Phil |

I am doing the bumper for sure as well. I have an early chrome 914/6 bumper I got from a local guy that was perfect, dentless and no rust, but it had a lot of those small nicks from stones over the years. was not necessary but I had it rechromed so I am going to do t 3m bumper guard which is I think a bit thicker than what goes on like a wrap. Glad you are doing that car, with all you are going thru to get it done now is the time to do it., well they say to wait for a few months so you might have to keep off the highway for a while. any updates or new paint pictures?? It makes chrome look foggy and the 3M bumper / light guard is thicker than it looks and hard to work with. |
