BMW and Tesla has some of the worst paint I have ever seen. (Ford as well)
No car is perfect, but I've seen large chunks of paint missing under fender signal lights. Dealers do all they can to pass PDI and get vehicle out the door. They are there to mass sell and not to make your new baby be in...
If you put that on everyday you come home, you will only scratch the paint if you don't have full ppf.
Think of it like this, when you drive, you have minor dust pellets on the car still when you drive into the garage. Then putting on car cover you drag it along and pull the dust with you along...
The texture of the film is different, it feels more plastic compared to XPEL feeling rubbery. It makes it harder to do a clean install. Also your solutions have to be different. Suntek doesn't like alcohol too much and it has a haze burn in it if your solution has too much. Most people use alot...
@HATED1 if you plan on doing something like we did on RRKnights stealth beast. Try using a dark gunmetal Matte strip.
If no stripe then ask them to bulk a full 60" sheet and at the top edges add pieces that butt against it.
Supra isn't the only car with oversized hood. Some Ferrari models...
Bikini cut is only refered to a precut kit. Do not go near that.
60" film can be stretched but not to the amount needed to cover a Supra hood. They are just assuming if they have not done one yet.
What happens when you stretch the film?
The glue begins to separate
The film gets thinner...
Ok,
Mirrors have a limitation at how far a film can wrap over the inside bend. The bottom and even some cars mirrors top. Film is slightly stretched over and if done custom put on further then precut. Because people always ask can you go as far as you can. Generally you go to its limit but...
Mirror caps are Satin
Gloss around mirror caps you cannot ppf in matte, it will look dumb with alot of seams which wont look good(curvature).
You cant leave just the mirrors area Gloss.
Apillars have Gloss ppf on it as well.
Roof was done to synchronize with the Ceramic window tint + pillars +...
Hahahah thank you, told you we meet deadlines even with additions. Now get ready to be stopped everywhere you go and a billion question from people everywhere. I might not be there when you pick up. I am waiting on Gt350R and Maserati to be dropped off. I saw it with base coat on. Just get ready...
Generally most cars all you need is the side screw for the door handle. Supra you needed to take off the door panel it has another screw behind white plastic that you cant get to without removing the panel. Doorhandle has 2 screws holding it.
Entire door panel has to come off. The screw behind the doorhandle inside the car, Toyota didnt put them in properly. You have to feed your hand underneath and inside to hold a bolt and unscrew it.
I had a tech from Porsche /McLaren come, a buddy of mine (he said the doors are similar setup as...
We have a seat dedicated for @RRKnight that when he comes he just sits behind the car and admires it for hours ahhahahaha
Last night it got quiet a bit done. Today I am finishing up and the livery and start the next step IGL Coating.
Getting doorhandles off we can make a movie out of it, how...
Ok, I'll try to go easy on the explanation and only mention a few panels.
Doing ppf is all about understanding curves and angles. Amount of tension and direction of pull and overhand grip or underhand grip. Alot of things matter. Ppf is a 2dimensional product which is fit on to a 3dimensional...
