Appreciate the honesty on the struggle took to get the body kit done.it's honestly like this that makes me watch your videos man keep up the good work can't wait for the next one
came out sick! love that you included your "fails" learning will stay part of the process forever, even if you are a master at your work there is always sth. to learn!
My favorite video of yours. For the sole purpose that you are completely transparent with your mistakes and faults. Not many UA-camrs would have been and explained everything the way you did. Great video, and as always great end result! Keep killing it!
Amazing job, my dude! I feel like this is a huge factor that separate large shops that don't care about one single job and will ultimately half-ass it; and passionate enthusiast like yourself that spend DAYS attempting to get it perfect as if it were going onto your own car! Now I'm not saying that larger shops won't do great work but the dedication you show towards your projects is just incredible! Top-notch! Keep up the great work both in the shop and with your videos!
Nothing but quality work dude. I can appreciate all the hard work and dedication you put into each and everyone of your customers cars. If its not up to BodeVision standard it doesnt leave the garage until it is. Good stuff dude!
what ended up being the secret to getting the paint to adhere properly? I am having same issue with my KBD bumper and need to give the body shop some advice apparently :(
I love these videos brother! Music is catchy, flow is good. Im a 28 year old combat vet and i like to watching chill shit. To just chill and stay calm at night. Love watching these at night. Keep it coming. As soon as you can have members ill be the first to pay to watch. good shit!
Thanks so much for your service man!!! We wouldn’t be able to do we love every day if it wasn’t for guys like you! Also thanks for watching and your support means a lot! New video in the next day or so
Didn't read through all the comments , But you can also scrub it with Trisodium Phosphate to remove the mold release. Learned that on Sprayways channel.
Gotta say love the work ethics would've been nice to see the completed video of you getting it together but totally understand when you get that frustrated you have to knuckle down and get to it Keep it up looking forward to seeing more
Nice to see you didn't give up after the second re sprayed and you swang a it one more time and baaaam another one out of the park!!! Good job and keep it up!!
Great work, love the honesty it’s what a lot of others lack ! Really like your style of videos, can tell a lot of effort goes into the camera positioning, editing, humour & energy ! Gained a subscriber here from the UK 👌🏻 was drawn to your channel by the Taylor Ray work, really great stuff love the way you explain things too !
Another hilarious intro 🤣. Respect on showing your flaws man. I can definitely appreciate that. Did you guys test fit the kit at all? I never used a flex agent. I only heard of using it in the clear coat mainly for installation purposes. Also heard it evaporators after 3to 6 months. But I guess it will hold being that you put it in the base coat and sealed it over with the clear coat. One last thing, did you sand the primer? Figured you guide coat it to catch those fish eyes. Could of maybe just sealed it with a sealer.
Bode love the videos can you put in the description what brand of products your using. I will be painting my ef sedan little nervous because it my first time laying down paint. Also I like how you go over your methods of measuring out your ratio.
I've had nothing but issues with bulldog in the last few years man. Especially in a puff can. After a bunch of times I tried it in a quart and it was still hit or miss. Switched to a cheaper shopline promoter (SU470LV) or (SEM 39861) if they dont have any of the shopline on hand. I haven't had an issue since. Been using it for a yr or so now. If you have a local paint only supply try them out next time you get the chance.
Prepping raw plastics like that theres always a few things to consider... what type of plastic, do a "float test" to see if you need promoter or not... I have used Comet to prep similar raw plastics, the cleaning agent and maroon scuff pad is used to remove the moulding release agent used in the manufacturing process, and give a mechanical adhesion as well as chemical...
Dude I hope you put the parts on to make sure they fit before you painted them but nice paint work but I've had four I bet those same problems before 2
Nice recovery. It's what you do when stuff goes tits up that will separate you from the crowd. If Sully had made 10,000 safe take offs and landings nobody would know his name.
Hey Bode! Quick question.. I'm about to paint my KBD Kit and I wanted to ask, did you use flex additive in the primer or did you use a specific primer? If you did add it what was the mix ratio. Thanks man. Side note... I'm painting tomorrow so please reply quick if possible!
hopefully i got back in time! Ajax is a must!!! Clean it really good until water doesnt bead off of it. IT WILL BE HORRIBLE IF NOT!. Also i dont care for flex additives, just do good prep work.
@@BodeVision I'm not gonna lie man idk wth happen with mine. I washed each piece down 4 times with ajax with bleach with a scotch brite pad but before this wiped every piece down with acetone. Then finally shot my primer and it was just instant fisheye everywhere, but I just rolled with it. I kept coating the primer on until it laid nice then wet sanded it smooth. So then I though since I have the primer on nice and flat I was good right? Wrong lol. I wiped the kit down with wax and grease remover then wet for paint.. fisheye everywhere. I dont even know how it went that wrong but yeah.. I do greatly appreciate your help though.
Gulf Wax i sanded it to bare with 220 but still after I did that I still got fish eyes. This company is not okay to sell a product like this. I refuse to paint anything kbd from now on.
@@BodeVision I feel you bro. I kinda thought the same but I feel like at the same time there's gotta be a reason. It's just hard for me to think I didn't clean it enough because I did to a t what they wanted plus more.
Noticed the hatch. New project? Sorry if you already talked about it, I usually have your vids playing when I'm doing stuff like chores so I might miss some details
No worries man. The black hatch is just a friends car and im watching it as hes over seas and the white hatch is just my daily. New project on the way.
I really hate that you had this happen. But like others I'm so happy you admitted it. But if you're like me you learn from mistakes. This will only make you better in the future and may even save somebody else a headache.
A printed instruction should have been included with the kit. No body shop would go online and do the research on how to prep a bumper. They would assume its the same as other OEM pieces.
Bro, don't be so hard on yourself. I was afraid something really terrible happened when you said you "ruined" it. Dude, I know it sucks, but that's fixable! I was afraid something happened where the urethane melted or something! Keep up the good work, and don't worry about mistakes. They happen, you learn, and then just keep going.
Mate you don't even need to use adhesion anything. Red scuffs, wet-on-wet and straight to base and clear. I It'sthe method, it's the knowledge and the product. Back at the BMW shop I work for, it was a 40 minutes job. On any plastic for this matter. Do it and you're not going to have problems.
Appreciate the honesty on the struggle took to get the body kit done.it's honestly like this that makes me watch your videos man keep up the good work can't wait for the next one
Thanks so much man! This means a lot!
Super agree with this since I think others will be moving towards KBD and want to know how to paint these.
Good on you for pushing through and doing your homework. Fisheyes have ruined more than a few days for me.
Feeling the pain with the resprays. Now you know how to spray that kbd stuff atleast. Can't wait to see Taylor get it on the car.
Yeah man you and me both! I really wish it could have been on for the LZ open house. But oh well! Its all good now.
came out sick! love that you included your "fails" learning will stay part of the process forever, even if you are a master at your work there is always sth. to learn!
Well said!! Trying to improve every day!
My favorite video of yours. For the sole purpose that you are completely transparent with your mistakes and faults. Not many UA-camrs would have been and explained everything the way you did. Great video, and as always great end result! Keep killing it!
Thanks so much man! I realize its just part of it and i want to show that!
Amazing job, my dude!

That is hard to have to redo it, but the end result is what matters... great job...

Didn't read through all the comments , But you can also scrub it with Trisodium Phosphate to remove the mold release. Learned that on Sprayways channel.
I will look into that next time! Im sure it would have saved me!
That's freaking dope! You are really honest and clear with your audience and i love it! I'm learning and watching great quality stuff! Keep it up man!
Thanks so much man!
Props to ya for sticking at it and admitting the mistakes and not blaming the product good vid as always keep it up
Thanks man!
Gotta say love the work ethics would've been nice to see the completed video of you getting it together but totally understand when you get that frustrated you have to knuckle down and get to it
Keep it up looking forward to seeing more
Nice to see you didn't give up after the second re sprayed and you swang a it one more time and baaaam another one out of the park!!!
Good job and keep it up!!
Thanks so much man! This was a close battle lol
Thanks for showing the struggle and not editing it out, It will no doubt help others avoid this same problem in the future.
Thats the goal man! Hopefully it will save other time!
Ahha I’m here for the intros lol ahah love the content let’s get to 20k ppl

Totally worth the work you put into it.
Yeah man it came out in the end!
Great work, love the honesty it’s what a lot of others lack !
Really like your style of videos, can tell a lot of effort goes into the camera positioning, editing, humour & energy !
Gained a subscriber here from the UK 👌🏻 was drawn to your channel by the Taylor Ray work, really great stuff love the way you explain things too !
Thanks so much for subscribing! This means so much!
What paint system uses a flex additive in the base coat? Never heard of that before. What’s the ratio?
Its Transtar and the mix for base is 2:1:.5 (.5 being the addative)
The struggle is real, but so are your skillz. Keep up the great content.
Ahh man. Sucks you had to go through all that.. But glad you finally nailed it! Looks good!
Thanks man!
You live and you learn bro that’s all we can do. Glad you didn’t give up looks amazing man.
Thanks man!! Just glad its over with now!
Really feeling this vid bro, thanks for putting in the mistakes it helps us beginners
Yeah man and thanks for watching!

I love your exhaust manifold gasket key holder. What's all the medals for?
When I was younger I used to speed skate. All the metals are national placements.
Bode love the videos can you put in the description what brand of products your using. I will be painting my ef sedan little nervous because it my first time laying down paint. Also I like how you go over your methods of measuring out your ratio.
when you had to sand it down the first time, did you use a 240 sandpaper to get it back to strait plastic??
I've had nothing but issues with bulldog in the last few years man. Especially in a puff can. After a bunch of times I tried it in a quart and it was still hit or miss. Switched to a cheaper shopline promoter (SU470LV) or (SEM 39861) if they dont have any of the shopline on hand. I haven't had an issue since. Been using it for a yr or so now.

Dayum Bode it looks just as good as the car does. Ya heardd!
Thanks man!!
so he has bumpers and skirts. but not the wider front fenders and rear fenders ?

Thanks for that! Leaning every day
Awesome work at the end of the day! 👍
Thanks so much! This was not an easy battle but it worked out!
Hell yeah man.. Glad u figured it out in the end..
yeah man for sure!
Thumbs up for spray and even bigger one for never giving up :). What would we do without internet :D
haha thanks man!
Loving the kit 🥂 🔥🎰
Nice work, way to push through and get it right. The body kit looks just like the car.
Thanks man! i cant wait to see it on the car.
Dude I hope you put the parts on to make sure they fit before you painted them but nice paint work but I've had four I bet those same problems before 2
Keep up the excellent work and sending u all the best from South Africa :)
Thanks so much man! Wanted to make it all in one video so it would make sense. Thanks for watching!
@@BodeVision :)
Looks awesome bro good work
Thanks man!
Nice recovery. It's what you do when stuff goes tits up that will separate you from the crowd. If Sully had made 10,000 safe take offs and landings nobody would know his name.
well said man!
Nnd the finished result was a beautiful finish, I have to say the the finish on the car was awesome.
Thanks man!
Tommy called Taylor's miata a bass boat :D cars sick as frick
Love your videos!
Love watching the channel I plan on doing this in the future big inspiration
Thanks for watching!

What are all those medals in the frame from bro
When i was younger i was a speed skater. Those are national placements.
What's up with the black EG in the background that's going to be a future project
No its just a friends car that im storing for him while hes over seas.
Ohh ok
just curious what all the ribbons behind your desk are?....
When I was younger I used to speed skate. All the metals are national placements.
wow thats awesome man@@BodeVision
At first you don't succeed, try try again.
Yeah man! It would have all been good for nothing if it didn't turn out in the end.
Noticed the hatch. New project? Sorry if you already talked about it, I usually have your vids playing when I'm doing stuff like chores so I might miss some details
No worries man. The black hatch is just a friends car and im watching it as hes over seas and the white hatch is just my daily. New project on the way.
Do you ever have anyone around to hang out with while you work or do you prefer to work alone?
Looks great !
I really hate that you had this happen. But like others I'm so happy you admitted it. But if you're like me you learn from mistakes. This will only make you better in the future and may even save somebody else a headache.
Thanks man! Ill for sure not let this happen again
You did a great job on the kit 👍👍👍👍
Thanks man!
A printed instruction should have been included with the kit. No body shop would go online and do the research on how to prep a bumper. They would assume its the same as other OEM pieces.
Yeah for sure that would have helped! Im sure they get calls all the time with people having issues.
Nice work mate
Thanks man!
Olds from the 90s have bumpers similar...will just reform...
Everyone makes mistakes, those who are afraid to admit it, are the ones that fail.
Bro, don't be so hard on yourself. I was afraid something really terrible happened when you said you "ruined" it. Dude, I know it sucks, but that's fixable! I was afraid something happened where the urethane melted or something!
Keep up the good work, and don't worry about mistakes. They happen, you learn, and then just keep going.
Thanks for that! Keeping it going!
throwin in that FLEXXX additive lol
FLEX on em!
This is like inception soon inception lol
you need a painters onesie bruv
Love that color but the Sparkles need to be blue
Im prob of you bro that you didn't give up till you got it right😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
15:13 seen a flaw on top of the rear bumper
call the cops
BodeVision already did they said unsubscribe
Lmaoo yikes
I was getting stressed out just watching this until it came out right.
Sanding it down to nothing twice was the worst.
LOL SEE YOU LATER ... 5 second later unloading the truck.. oh hey Adam lmao

BodeVision @ 2.35
BodeVision @2:35
Way to work threw the stuggle
Taylor Ray is so cool I hope he whoops up on Tommy and him and Chris tie
Yeah man as long as all of them are safe and their cars come out okay it will be all good!
Good save
Thanks man!
Mate you don't even need to use adhesion anything. Red scuffs, wet-on-wet and straight to base and clear. I
It'sthe method, it's the knowledge and the product. Back at the BMW shop I work for, it was a 40 minutes job.
On any plastic for this matter. Do it and you're not going to have problems.
Championship white for the accord hatch
Maybe one day!
Back at it again with a late vlog
late like its an old video or late like time in the day?
Didnt You Felt Frustrated? Jeez... Im Glad It Turned Out Good
YES!!! It takes so much out of me to put in the work and have it not turn out.
I hope this answers all the questions from my weekend post you were asking about! Thanks for staying involved man!
@@BodeVision Yes Yes Yessss
