Honestly a very underrated video you've made here! I want to smoothen out and then wrap the stock fender flares on my '15 Sierra. I know yall are doing paint but this vid has me in the right direction for my project. Thanks so much.
Exactly! Smoothen out textured areas so the vinyl wrap might adhere. Although I'm surprised there is so less to find about tgat process on the internet
Hey! you may have mentioned this in the video and I just missed it, but have you tried using a torch at a distance from the textured plastics. The auxillary heat "melts" the texture quicker than the thicker base layer of plastic. Certainly going to still need a bit of a smoothing process, but that's a piece of advice I had been given from a custom wrap shop to smooth out those textured areas. Going to be painting my X3 myself soon and really appreciate the video's you've put together
I love it man. I have a Dodge Challenger I’m wanting to try this on. The video was great but a little hard to follow along correct me if I’m wrong but you, Sanded the texture out with 220 Sprayed adhesion promoter Sprayed flexible primer Sanded that Sprayed flexible primer Sanded Sprayed flexible primer Sanded Sprayed base coat Then 2 coats of clear? Sorry if I sound dumb I just wanna make sure I do a good job
Did you use any flex agents in the base coat and clear coat or will it hold up fine without it. Also what type of clear coat did you use? Thanks for the video, great work!
Thank you for the video! How many coats of clear did you do? And was the paint just an automotive paint? Also what grit sand paper did you use for the primer?
2 coats of clear, it was regular automotive base coat, and clear coat. First two coat of primer were sanded with 220 grip paper, last two were sanded with 320 grit, primer was SEM flexible primer
