    Restore exterior black trim

    I have a section around my exhaust pipes that is rough textured plastic and it looks old and faded. I out some Meguiars ultimate black on it a while ago but it didn't last long. It almost looks...
  2. Re: Optimum Gloss Coat - did not work on my car! (w pics)

    Haha! No, it doesn't, but this is helpful. I haven't had a chance to look at the videos, so I'm still convinced I wasted $75 on that stuff after all. :(
  3. Re: Optimum Gloss Coat - did not work on my car! (w pics)

    Thanks. It looks like all of the electronics on mine are actually connected to the bumper itself. It looks almost like once the bumper is off you can just take your time disassembling them from the...
  4. Re: Optimum Gloss Coat - did not work on my car! (w pics)

    How hard was it to install your bumper? I've seen some videos on my particular car. Getting it on and off doesn't seem hard, but no one has actually described taking the rear camera, taillights,...

  6. Re: Optimum Gloss Coat - did not work on my car! (w pics)

    Thanks for all of the responses. I think I found the Michigan seller on eBay you may have used, I spoke to him and he relieved me of the concerns I had. Looks like my bumper shipped will run under...
  7. Re: Optimum Gloss Coat - did not work on my car! (w pics)

    Oh, I see. Thanks for the information. Is your bumper OEM? My only concern is if I buy a painted bumper, since my car is almost 10 years old won't the paint on it have faded, and the new bumper won't...
  8. Re: Optimum Gloss Coat - did not work on my car! (w pics)

    Thanks, but the link I provided is OEM that comes PAINTED already. All I have to do is install.


    Now I just need to know if anyone can tell me the quality of "Axalta Premium Waterborne" paint as...
  9. Re: Optimum Gloss Coat - did not work on my car! (w pics)

    Has anyone ever heard about this website where you buy a pre-painted OEM bumper?

    EDIT: I actually just talked to the owner. This is what he said about the paint they use, and then I later asked...
  10. Re: Optimum Gloss Coat - did not work on my car! (w pics)

    Oh I didn't know that; I thought the coating was another layer so to speak. I too would have thought soft paint, but as I pointed out this was not a problem whatsoever the initial 2 years or so after...
  11. Optimum Gloss Coat - did not work on my car! (w pics)

    I have a 2012 Camaro in a metallic black coat. A few years ago someone backed into me and I have my rear bumper replaced/painted. Little did I know the body shop did a very bad job. The first couple...

    Re: Not thrilled with body work done

    I called the company who sent the part, as they "guarantee OEM fit or better," and told them it did not fit right, and they refunded me 100% for the part.

    So, it may not look perfect, but it's...

    Re: Not thrilled with body work done

    The first two sent were rejected, the shop said the third was good to go. So...i assumed they were not lying. Hence why I'm not sure if this was the fault of the shop or the part, and am asking...

    Re: Not thrilled with body work done

    I actually asked them if I could purchase a bumper and they said that's fine. I asked how much they would charge me if I purchased through them, and I told them I could get one for cheaper. I don't...

    Not thrilled with body work done

    I purchased a CAPA aftermarket bumper from a reputable wholesaler.# When I got my car back from the shop I noticed small indentations under the side markers on the bumper on both sides, which...

    Re: Sears damaged my rims, help me touch them up?

    I'm not sorry at all. Thanks for your input, and I agree with you completely. I just don't know how to handle the situation now though. I asked the manager if I could take my car to the shop in Fort...

    Re: Sears damaged my rims, help me touch them up?

    Yes. Do you have any advice for me the next time I talk to them? They did say they would take them to FW.

    Re: Sears damaged my rims, help me touch them up?

    So do you think I should just drop my car off and remind him I know my odometer reading, or would it be a good idea to take the rims off myself and drop them off? The latter is kind of a pain. If you...

    Re: Sears damaged my rims, help me touch them up?

    h...I saw the manager today, he looked at the rims and goes "I need your car for three days." I paused and said, so you'll fix them? He said yes, then I asked if he was doing it at sears, and he said...

    Re: Sears damaged my rims, help me touch them up?

    Do you know if the circle is something that can be buffed out as the other poster earlier suggested? It felt to me like it was grooved.

    Re: Sears damaged my rims, help me touch them up?

    Sears damaged my rims, help me touch them up?

    I had Sears install 4 tires a couple of weeks ago, they damaged all 4 rims in the process. I attached 3 pictures all of 1 wheel which got it the worst. Scratches, paint chips, and abrasions. It's...

    In light of the following article:

  24. Re: i think my brand new car was repainted at the factory

    I understand, but it appears the panel is getting worse with time. I've gone back and forth on this because I really don't know what to expect, both with the current panel deteriorating and the...
  25. Re: i think my brand new car was repainted at the factory

    If you look between the mirror and door handle on that car, you can see the hue changes slightly from dark to light, very similar to my door. It is not as obvious, but I can still see some stripes.
