I FIND THESE DUPLICOLOR PRODUCTS AMAZING TO USE !

I recently did a bumper coating and metal coating on my car.Changed the appearance dramatically !
If you wanna restore your car , get some of these products.

I love how the guy used old issues of Maxim to cover up the parts of the car he wasn't painting.

So much more interesting than the newspaper!

Actually, its alot better than newspaper. Newpaper is too pourous(sp) and can sometimes absorb the paint and then the paint can get onto other parts that you didn't want. Using the Maxim, that won't let the paint through it and keep it on the surface on the pages not on the actual car. Thats why he used the paper everywhere else just so that the overspray will land there. Quite smart actually!

Masking off a whole car would be such a PITA...but it does look good!

nice masking job... looked at the maxim pages more then the car.

you should paint inside if you can, if not then pick a day when there is no wind.

it's not just wind...you have a better chance of keeping crap from flying onto the wet paint inside.
