    Rob & Chris, as well you know, the SAME paint will look different on plastic as it does on metal! It’s a fact!!

  • @tonya9955
    @tonya9955 Місяць тому +6

    I use to work for General Motor's paint group. The reason plastic looks off color to metal panels, is that plastic heats up faster in the paint ovens, which effect the color.

    Firstly lads I'd like to say a wise man would go a long way to find friendship as you two have, treasure it. Personally with the dings i know loads of people who would say leave the dings and they would rather have a discount because the Mrs is only going to more in at the supermarket car park. Brilliant as usual.

    Good evening Rob and Chris, firstly nice to see Chris back, hope he enjoyed his holiday. The car looks great, it will sell as it is as a new driver / city driver will get a few marks on it. I would not get it painted TBH. Nice little profit for you both. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged.

    Sell it as it is if you can.
    Don't think you would add enough profit to justify the cost of perfecting it and having it hang apund in a queue unless you are forced to.
    It's not as if you are short of work or this is a premium car with big money riding on it.

    Good effort on that one, small marks or not, the car isn’t new. Anyone chasing a perfect car, needs to stump the cash and head to the dealers. Cracking job and a respectable price after 👍

  • @davidstevens1547
    @davidstevens1547 Місяць тому +1

    Nice Job. Best buys from Reclamet and the dealer to make it a good car. Chris worked hard in the first video inside and you both made a wrecked car into something very presentable. The small marks are what one would expect for a car of it's age so why worry about those. 😀👍

    It's a 5 year old city car. You could make it perfect and the first time it goes to a supermarket car park it'll pick up a scrape. At some point you just say it's good enough for the type of car it is and let the new owner not worry about keeping it from getting a mark on it because it's already got a ding or two..
