Great project & Looking good

So the bumper sucked. We did nothing today. The vinyl took off a good chunk of my clear coat when we were moving it. Quite discouraged right now.

All part of the learning process and the patience that is needed. You're doing good

**Kubus** · 09-23-2012 06:31 PM

Thanks man

You have a lot more courage than most of us here! Keep going...the front bumper is the hardest, after that, smooth sailing!

How much material did you buy?

**Kubus** · 11-18-2012 12:13 PM

I had 100 feet but its way too much to do a whole car unless you do every piece twice

**AudiTFSI3o3** · 11-18-2012 12:25 PM

any updated pics?

**Kubus** · 11-18-2012 04:38 PM

No because I changed my mind after all of my paint came off of the front of my car. I didn't want to deal with repainting the entire car so I just bit the bullet and repainted the whole front.

Fun experiment but it ended up costing me. That glue is serious business if your paint is damaged in any way (I had regular stone chips from 100k miles) don't expect it to stay on the car when you take it off or reposition during application.

Once I saw my paint getting ripped off my heart began to hurt and I called it off. I have 75 feet of this material still in my basement.

damn, sorry to hear about your update. it was looking good, but shit happens.

**Kubus** · 11-18-2012 06:10 PM

Yeah if I didn't see the paint coming off in sheets like that I would have continued. I loved the way it was looking. I still have it on my wing mirrors and its holding up well. Not too keen to take it off. Gives it a bit of that S4 look

**Ed Gein** · 11-19-2012 02:57 AM

yeah, best to leave something like that to the pros.
