Tuesday Evening quick one

Another problemo!....Pulled the grille out of storage and same problem as other tight wraps. Crinkle at edges and 2 corners have popped out.

Im gutted after it took me an hour to do with the grille cuts. I think its just too tight angles for the vinyl and glue to hold neatly

so i guess be back on gloss black and just a few skulls get airbrushed on top cause no success with carbon

Thursday -not much happening just sweat and a lot wet sand and polishin and same repeatable process again+ spraying so busy busy

mirror covers get sprayed

Bumpers get shades on

and machine help so far just hand and results

dont know what to do with carbon stuff its alright when is done and in cold temperatures but when it gets sun thats it peels off ...shyte =)
