Can you coat a whole car like people do with Line-x? What type of prep is needed?

You COULD. Not sure why you would. It will be roughly textured. You would have to scuff all exist irony paint . Clean with xylol then apply. Let dry and apply last coat.

We used this as a pick up truck bed liner. Worked great. I think that is what it was meant for. I don't think it was meant for a undercar coating like Ziebart.

This product is more like a plastic coating than PAINT. It goes on much thicker then regular spray can paint. It's also a little harder to get a smooth even finish on small stuff. It is a solid color enamel that is pleasing to the eye. Ahhhh, some reflectors are required for safety? Anyway. Spray a scrap piece of plastic or cardboard and put it against the other trim before you paint the real thing... it will not reflect through the paint... But it's not the FLAT black that is popular in our car club.

The roof coating (Dicor) works great on seams by filling small gaps and cracks. I would do the Dicor first, followed by the Eternabond and a final coat over everything. Better safe than sorry as they say.

I spray automotive bases and clears using a 1.5mm tip, 2 mm or larger spraying 2K primers since they are quite a bit thicker to allow for high build. Mix up your paint according to manufacturers specs and judge the thickness. If it thicker in consistency then base or clear mixes then I would suggest using the larger 2mm tip. You can lower your air pressure and narrow the spray pattern to help reduce overspray. You can also reduce your spray distance just make sure to apply light coats and allow ample time between coats or you may end up with paint problems such as extended cure time or blushing. There are a host of other problems which may occur to numerous to go into. Also pay close attention to preperation which one of the most important aspects of auto refinishing. The better the prep work the better the final finish. Hope this helps

Enamel, that is what the original car had. I have used Lacquer, but that just doesn't make the finish look like the original car!

I bought professionally mixed paint. You must wet sand, prime ,sand again spray 2-3 coats of paint, then 3-4 coats of clear coat. After a week then you need to hand buff with compound, then wax. Perfectly matches other mirror and car. ,About 35.00 material, 4 hours. That's why body shops are expensive.

I would do multiple cars at the same time. There is enough of the basic solution for many applications but they do not give you a enough of the sealer packages which come in foil packets. I did two cars at once each step in sequence. I have more than enough to do more cars but I will not have anymore of the sealer packages.

It's a good idea to clay bar your vehicle. Especially if it's a few years old. That's about it. A clean surface free of debris is all that's required. I went over the Jetseal with a good synthetic wax and it seems to last a long time. If you find that you have a few areas that are a little rough even after using a clay bar kit to can use some pre-wax polish prior to applying the sealant.

It's not really made for that application. I would buy a can of plastidip to do it with. It turns out really good plus you can just peel it off if you mess up. With VHT you're pretty much stuck with the results good or bad.

You need a base coat, primer and top coat and light. It's all part of the system.

Sure. Just make sure you cover everything that you don't want to spray. And then cover still more, because the spray will likely exceed your expectations of where its going to land :) I used this with white latex (thinned) paint in my driveway and managed to get some spray on my car which was parked behind me about 10 feet away. So then I had break out the polishing compound to get that off.

No prep is needed. You would probably like more than the one brush it comes with. If the numbers are pretty dark, I would try to maybe erase them a little. I haven't tried this yet but was thinking about it if my next one had such dark numbers. I had to repaint over the numbers so they wouldn't show through the paint. But I loved the finished product! It is a gorgeous painting.

On a newer car I would use the M205 Polish. The compound I use on correcting the paint. ie swirls, scratches, waterspots etc

Depends. If it is a little light overspray from some careless work, you ought to be able to work it out with this product. I have had excellent success with this myself. If someone has actually sprayed auto paint directly on your car, this is not what you want. You need to sand it down, prime, and repaint. You're screwed.

Yes, however I would suggest not getting the sprayable kind. Get the full plasti dip and thin it with xylene. You will get a better mix that will spray easy and also provide better coverage.

The preperation of the paint is the most important step. Using it on my wife's car, 2005 model, and the car is still in showroom condition. Wax goes on nicely, apply only in one direction, polish it up with a microfiver cloth and use a second one to buff it to a beautiful sheen. Gives great depth to the paintwork and gives that nice wet look. works even better when applied with a polisher, I use an orbital polisher. Waxing is the final step to achieve the wet look finish. Wax doesn't last as long as sealants/polishes. I'm a bit of a detailing nut, so I apply wax every week when washing the car. I've noticed that it is still effective after a month and still gives that nice beading effect in the rain. Another bonus of this product, during normal weekly commuting, especially in the rain, the car seems to stay cleaner for longer as the dirt battles to find grip on the super slippery surface. I've tried various products and am very happy with P21S - finally found the rpoduct that I'll stick with. I also use Autoglym Super Resin Polish as the sealant, Chemical Guys Wet Mirror Finish as the polish. Don't forget to clay the vehicle at least once every six months to get rid of all the oxidation and garbage that collects on the paintwork. Chemical Guys have some nice products for dark coloured vehicles like yours. Hope the info helped.

Preparation was the key to success. I used a long handle bristle brush, used a "Simple Green" solution to remove the old paint, then rinsed the roof and allowed to dry, thoroughly. Worked well for me.Be careful in warm weather as the expoxy will cure rather fast. Hint- mix small batches when it's hot.Great product.
