trying to start a thread on painting (all inclusive) and bodywork (removing dents, etc.) because, well I want to learn it and im sure there are tons of viewers wondering/wishing the same thing.
If you have bodywork/Paint know-how, share here! -------------------- same skidpad grip as a 2006 M3....stock. 'nuff said

Just another quick note...unless you are in the detailing business, there is no need to buy large quantities either.
A lot of bodyshop items like this come in 1 litre sizes which is fine for the trade. You should be able to get a 250ml sample of the compound/polish which should be able to cover 3 or 4 cars worth. |
