    It’s getting “fuzzy” because the friction from the orbital sander is melting the plastic and then it’s cooling and hardening. As someone else said, high-build primer and sand and repeat, then paint and clear with high grit sanding between coats. It’s almost impossible to sand that plastic cleanly and evenly, especially with a power sander.

    I dig this video. When I painted my parts, I left the texture on there. It works well on the ISM!

    Hi, Thanks for the Video. Could you let us know why you sold the VB? or maybe just a short video on your experience? Im slowing leaning towards the VB, your info would help! Not too excited to spend this kind of money if I am going to be better of keeping my 2019?

    Hey, which Napa did you go to? You live in Fresno, right? Apparently not all Napa’s do paint matching.

    • @Hapawerks
      @Hapawerks  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You're correct, theres a Napa Paint store. specifically for paint.

    If using paint with flex agents in them, do you need to sand down the textured surface or the arch molding?

    Nice Job & Looks Great..
    Wondering if anyone has tried:
    1st, using 400 grit light sanding but not removing texture
    2nd- Apply adhesion promoter 3rd, Apply a few coats of HI Build primer
    4th, Apply color base coat
    5th Apply 2k clear
    Ive always been taught to use adhesion promoter when painting plastics.
    *Unsure if this would take care of covering texture or not?

  • @louisgonzalez803
    @louisgonzalez803 ปีที่แล้ว

    I haven’t seen you use adhesion promoter unless it’s in your primer? And sanding the texture off is the best way . Great job looks good

    • @Hapawerks
      @Hapawerks  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey Louis, since the primer has a minimal texture on it I never had problems with paint peeling. I’ve only used adhesion promoter on parts that aren’t prepped properly. Not a bad added step though.

    • @louisgonzalez803
      @louisgonzalez803 ปีที่แล้ว

    @hapawerks How many cans did you use on the sides? Meaning primer and base and clear?

    • @Hapawerks
      @Hapawerks  ปีที่แล้ว

      You're going to have to elaborate on your question @jimmijames23. Sides meaning just the sideskirts? the video also talks about how many cans I used and how much I would estimate for a whole car. As a rule of thumb, a can a part is about right give or take.

      @@JimmiJames23 I'll admit that's a bit outside of my element but I would expect that the employees at the paint shop would be able to give you advice on that. I believe they can either mix the pearls into the basecoat or supply you with the necessary paints. sorry I couldn't help more.

    do you have to sand it or will it come out fine just leaving the texture

    • @Hapawerks
      @Hapawerks  ปีที่แล้ว

      Leaving the texture you will end up with that same texture in your finished product. That's up to you to decide if you're wanting that. Personally I wanted it smooth.

    Almost painful to watch.
    Pro-tip “high build primer”
    First
    barely scuff the piece with 180
    then wipe down the piece with mineral spirits ..then give it 2-3 coats of high build primer and the honey comb will be gone!
    Now sand and paint.
    Don’t waste time actually sanding your plastic down. Sand primer. 👍🏼🤷🏼‍♂️
    I still love you tho. 😂

    • @Hapawerks
      @Hapawerks  ปีที่แล้ว

      Fantastic advice! I don't think the pro shop that did my bumper used highbuild primer without sanding down the texture first. I'm sure there's better ways to do this but I was very happy with my results.

    I know you an sand it but couldn't you just use a light weight filler instead

    • @Hapawerks
      @Hapawerks  ปีที่แล้ว

      Judging by the responses some people have done that. I don't like using filler too much as when materials expand and contract sometimes it can cause cracking.
