    Impressed again Johnny. The bumpers have come up a treat & the car is looking a lot better, even if it still needs the finishing detail. Looking forward to the rest of the journey with this Jag & how you tackle the alloys. Cheers & all the best 👍🏻

    Certainly looking good so far, what a huge difference from when it came in, if I remember correctly, you said it was one owner, lower than average mileage, and full service history ? That being the case, you have certainly got it to a condition that matches it's history, hopefully someone will recognise that fact, and buy it ! Very best of luck with the final part of the story, I'm really looking forward to it.

    Johnny, what’s the setup around 4:40 where you are painting the bumper repair? I have clear pealing on my old car and need to do something similar on mirrors. Looks like you didn’t need to spray primer for small area. I’ve used just a rattle can before but your small spray gun would have better control I suspect.

    • @JohnnyGetsCash
      @JohnnyGetsCash  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I used my airbrush for the rear bumper smart repair here. I generally use that for small repairs that need to be faded out. I usually don’t use primer but here I actually did use a small amount of aerosol primer after filler and prior to paint / clear. Pure ply because I wanted to ensure an invisible repair.

    • @JohnnyGetsCash
      @JohnnyGetsCash  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Intend to always favour a light base however certain codes call for specific primers. Your local paint supplier should be able to clarify depending on paint code, but in my experience the vast majority of colours take well to a grey or a white primer 👍

      @Rimkus7 You need to bear in mind that the dogs are smarter than humans and have an ultra-refined sense of smell, and consequently they wont stick around if they smell anything harmful.
      Also, due to environmental regs (in Europe and UK at least), most of the paints are water-based; still harmful, but not that harmful.
