    I’m a painter. And I’m guessing the reason he was quoted $6k is because there’s about 100 hours of body work to get the body kit to fit right without a bunch of waves and gaps. That’s not even mentioning the cost of materials and labor for the actual primer, paint, clear, tape, sandpaper, rags, solvents etc. it really adds up. Especially if you use high quality paint like House of Kolor.

    • @mercedes.c63_audi.q8
      @mercedes.c63_audi.q8 Před 10 měsíci +11

      I agree... those high quotes were because of the body work involved, which it needed A LOT of.

      6k sounds right to me for a complete paint job that requires more than a lay over. Agree with you all.

    Thats why some places over charge instead of just saying no. A body kit with poor paint etc they don't want to be held responsible. Eventhough all wrappers tell you if thr car has been repainted it may peel. But some still complain. But really good job here

    My G has the same kit. I tried to wrap it myself 2 years ago I didn’t know anything, I didn’t even use a heat gun, it was not a good experience I wasted tons of material. I decided to try again color matching my truck, I had a heat gun this time, but 3 hours into the front bumper I burned a hole with my heat gun and ruined it. I let the truck sit torn apart in the garage for 2 days while I binge watched your videos all weekend. Came down to give it another try and man I can’t thank you enough for what you do. I gained so many tips from your videos it’s like I had a class.

    I have a car that I wrapped 7 years ago that sits outside in the sun most of the time and it looks great. BUT... I wax it three times a year and use a quick detailer wax every time I wash it (about every 2 weeks). I have another car that is garage kept, and that wrap is over 15 years old and looks perfect.

      @@ParadoxTheWrapper Ceramic coating is basically a fancy wax coating (yes I know it's more complicated than that) that needs less replenishing but it degrades over time as well. Most people don't wax their cars often enough, especially in CA where there is little cloud cover and cars are exposed to UV twice as much as cars in other, more northern, states.

    Hey man, love the videos. I’ve been watching for a few weeks maybe a month now, but watched a ton of old stuff. I keep seeing what looks like you cutting on the car. I noticed it on the skyline video around the door handles first and I went oooooooo noooo he’s not lol and kept seeing what I thought was you running the razor on the paint. Thought maybe since it was yours, you didn’t care but I saw the same thing on this cars bumper and stuff so I have to ask, are you cutting on the car? What am I missing. School me good sir. I wrapped my first panel last night so now just going back to look for little tips and tricks for edges and how to actually do your finish work so any tips are appreciated!
