Hello. My name is Dan, and today I doomsday prepped
-
I used it for my trunk handle on the compact. That stuff is great but very unforgiving if you have any nicks or imperfections
very true. by 'coats well' i meant it lays flat and even, no wrinkle or orange peel. i even had a couple of pretty good size paint spatters on the plate filler that just evened out all on their own.
also, if its up to earl's standards, you know its good.

Do you have any alpinweiss ii parts you need to paint? I was gonna order a primed front valance and spoiler in the near future (i'd rather have a white on white lip) and we could cut down on paint costs if we tag team it.
I'd potentially be interested as well
-
i do have to paint a front valance, but I don't trust myself to get that done right - going to the professionals for that. i don't have spray equipment either, just using rattle cans.

we are rolling now. the SEM stuffs have arrived.
door panels done. here's a comparison photo for reference. its hard to find direct comparisons online so hopefully this helps someone else down the line.
i couldn't be happier with the color and coverage. covers the old color, but all the vinyl texture is all still there. the final test will be how it holds up in the long run.

I lack the patience for things such as this Dan.
+1 to you

I used a product called Rub N' Restore from a mom and daughter shop in California when I did the sport seats for the e21. Heard great reviews about them, so I gave it a try. Loved how it applied and the final look is perfect.
The SEM products you used were second on my list. Glad to see someone used it and has a positive outcome. Definitely keep it in mind for other projects for sure. Looks great Dan!!

carpet is here! great tonal match to the palomino.

Please please please let me know how you're going to get that to lay nicely. I have the same stuff in my car and for the life of me can't get it to lay flat everywhere lol
-
Pro tip: install on a very warm sunny day.
I did. Also let it sit out for a week.
-
i dont know, never done this before. I have it out and am walking on the floor pan bit to hopefully get that part nice and flat. maybe heat gun to get out the wrinkles?

Does the replacement carpet have the same foam backing like the original?
Mine did not
-
there is foam on the back of this brand.
i have also trained the cats to sleep and play on the carpet to help with the flatness.

Also did not have holes for the seat bolts/belts. That was annoying.
