thats a hot pic!

"Lifetime Warranty" is purely for marketing, please read the fine prints. They do have strict criteria.

When we repair and paint panels, the insurance company refuses to cover paint protection unless all the obligation of the paint protection certificate/contract have been met (because we all know paint protection is useless ).

in relation to the ceramic clear, not all of the Mercedes & BMW have them factory, only the higher end ones...

oh ok,fair enough ^_^

dealer ship say paint will last and shine forever if you use this product,its all non sense in my point of view. better off getting your own products which cost half the price.

From what ive been told is that most new car nowdays eg merc,bmw etc have a new type of clear coat on them called ceramic clear, apparently this clear will prevent scratches and stone chip and will make the shine last longer.

thats werid, never had that problem at my work before. but if his going to sand it back to bare metal and re-do everything make sure he puts etch primer down first then 2k primer after.

by the way after he sand it back with 800 and put primer did he rub it back or was it a wet on wet system?

i've had the car for 2 years but never had money and time to work on it. 1st year apprentice wage was s***.

hey guys just wanted to ask. my front guard has got fresh paint on it and yesterday night i installed the repeater lamp on the side back into position. When i took it off, a bit of paint chipped on the side. Is new paint supposed to chip this easily? i dont remember the OEM paint chipping when i removed the repeater lamp.

The paint has been in the oven many times and cured properly. Will this chip spread out to the rest of the guard?

cheers guys

was it a brand new guard?

OK guys, question for all you panel beaters.

from my limited google research, i've come across mixed opinions about painting these two types of paint over one another. here is my story:

1) sanded back the interior plastics and got rid of the shine of the original colour.

2) sprayed it with metallic black (acrylic)

3) wasnt happy with the finish and sparkly bits so i took it back with 320 grit paper and tried to take back all the acrylic off

4) panel shop painted 2pac on (no primer) over the part

5) there is a wriggly line on the bloody corner of the part! :(

apparently to the panel beater, the glue type substance came up when he was using the wax and grease remover when he cleaned the interior bits before he painted it. the ONLY interior part affected was the gear shifter housing. the other panels i made sure all the acrylic was off before i gave the parts to him. just the corners of the gear shifter housing was hard to get the paint off so i gave up and gave it to him instead.

now would it be ok if i just sanded it back lightly and buffed and polished it up? or do i need to sand it back AGAIN :( and then have him redo the part again?

also as a general rule: is it OK to paint 2k on top of 1k or do you have to take everything back to bare plastic and prime it etc before painting it? we thought the interior parts aren't going to be exposed to the outside environment so its ok to not use 2k primer before painting it. He said if he used primer, i'd have to sand it back = more work = not necessary. so we didnt end up doing it.

thanks in advance for you input guys.

cheers

The wriggly line? it could be chemical reaction from the 2k paint touching the acrylic. best thing to do is put primer

thanks jeffy

Does anyone like the hurricane extractors?? I found them on eBay for $590. Is it worth it?

i went to liverpool exhaust and ask them about full exhaust system,they are the only one that deals with hurricane extractors. got the quote from the guy but some of the stuff he said didn't sound right.
