Nexson's Ongoing Paint & Fabrication Pictoral/Video Thread!
#121
I seriously doubt I am advertising to paint someone's bumper in Cali or NY or anywhere else our members are located. Listen to the video, I have laid everything out in the video to help out members aspiring to learn more, that is what our forum is all about right? I have gotten many PMs requesting information on how to do certain things. If you watched the video, you would hear that I am a teacher by carrer, I enjoy teaching and helping others out. Please watch the video if you haven't already
There are many members in different locations. Whether he watched the video or not, jb's intent was that you requested to have a thread where you can display your work and you were accommodated, and a separate thread is not required or allowed for any work you consider to be worthy or specialized outside the original thread. Again, this was his intention, and it was supported. Continue to post your work, but limit it to this thread.

If it is 4G related to a specific factory component, then is it fine to keep it there. If it is of a generic component not related to a specific model Acura or from a different manufacturer, then continue to post it in this thread. Anything done as an accessory for any Acura model or other manufacturer, continue to post in this thread as well.

You can also feel free to PM any mod, senior mod, or admin if you do not want to clutter up your thread with semantics.

Do you now?
LOL...
PS...guess what I got for Vday...Makita rotary...just like yours. Need some pointers on cleaning it etc. Great though, I love it. Tried it on my boss' car yesterday...he has a white corolla that was chalky...amazing how fast that things works. Takes a bit to get used to the movement, very different from the dual action PC....One is macro, the other is micro.

This thread is fantastic.
I screwed up my front bumper a little bit last Saturday by doing a 3 point turn on a steep driveway. As I let off the clutch, I was clearly too close to this low brick wall along the driveway and rolled into it
After reading through this thread, I decided I'm going to tackle the repair myself.
Thanks Brian! This has been a huge help on what supplies and what procedures I should take to make it look like new.

you're the only person I've seen work that I'd entrust to paint it...and that's no lie. You SAW what my "friend" did to my grill.
Plus, you're more anal than me...that's what I used to tell my buddy, how can your painter be LESS anal than the customer.

Sort of a challenge here with this one, but it came out sick! Body shop wanted $900+ for new bumper cover because of the texture that "couldnt" be fixed and included in that price was $80 for the rubber step up that needed to be replaced. I was able to remove it and re-use it.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.

Brian, I really need to get you to bring my trunk lid, front/rear bumper with aspec and front grill, back from the dead. I wish I had a second car. Every chance I get I direct people at what a badass you are...
I'd pick you working out of your parents garage ANY day over some "professional" shop touching my car.

yup, 61k! I bought 4oz to do the job, it was something like $25 bucks. I had very little left that I threw out because it was mixed with blending agent, which I use on my last coat of base. Nice color!
