Thanks! Yes, it's tricky and tedius, but possible. I have a few more places to fix on my car again, so I'll try to get a more predicable process!

Yes, but with a very fine pad. It's tricky and somewhat tedius, but possible. Hopefully that came through in the video : )

Hi Allen, thank you for your question. Advance Auto Parts. Other supply stores may offer it too. You'll need you vehicle paint code - look for TH-cam videos on where to find it on your car's chassis label. If the color is off, try shaking the can longer, especially for metalic colors, i.e. silver. Good luck!

Thanks for your comment. Yes, I degreased it with rubbing alcohol. My focus was on painting what was necessary, rather than the whole panel, instead of a complete beginning-to-end process. Maybe that was not the best decision? The scratches were not deep, so I used sandpaper with a fine grit - 800 and up, which came with the polishing kit. Also, I have never used sanding paste. Do you recommend any videos showing how to use it? Thanks again.

Ok thankyou fir the video

Yes, I used 2 lag screws per shelf: Lowes item 59078, 1/2" x 10" Zinc HX Lag $2.45 ea. The shelves are 44" x 2" x 9". I screwed the bolts 3" deep, leaving 7" protruding. I noticed someone mentioned using a stud finder, which I did to find the stud. However, the accuracy of my stud finder was too coarse when the screw alone uses up 30% of the 1.5" width. I wanted to make sure I was very close to the center, so I found the actual edges of the studs with a small drill bit. Also, you can use a mallet to "tweak" the screws level and for alignment, once they are screwed in. Please let me know if you have any more questions.

Sounds good. Please let me know how it goes.

Thank you very much will let you know how it goes

Sorry it does not work for you. Best.

Well, it depends on what you want. I provide my context and trad-offs. It's not perfection and the results I show speak for themselves. I'm sharing an option that works for me. Best.

For a general diy this is better than most will do. If the paint matched it would be 90%

Thank you!

Hi Dennis, I used 12", which roughly matched the existing cabinets. I find floating shelves more asthetic than regular cabinets, so it depends on what you put on them. My wife likes to use large 1/2 gallon mason jars that are 10" tall. Anything taller would not work well at 12" shelf spacing. Good luck with your shelves!

Thanks, Andrew! I know my video skills and setup need some work, but I wanted to share and help someone if possible. Yes, I could use some jigs, great idea. I did use a cheap stud finder, which can be off by 1/4". Those are fine for hanging pics, but not here! Yes, you can bend the bolts a bit for leveling - a pipe for leverage works. Also, in the past I've added some silicone caulk in spots to make sure it stays put. With this project, it was not needed. I loved "not building a piano", LOL. Happy building!
