Use a ceramic coating like Gyeon Pure with 80% SIO2 and it will leave a very thick(still very thin) coating. High UV A and UV B inhibitors in it, good for 18 months and longer using Gyeon Cure as a topper monthly. It will take 24 hours to cure but 5-7 days to fully cure. It will look crazy shiny when you're done. Buff out the whole car and coat it, you'll be glad you did. Good work on the spoilers BTW.
Thanks...i'm actually thinking of doing full ceramic coat of my car. Should have been doing my paint correction the past 2 months but will get to in soon before I do the ceramic. Maybe do a few panels every night so my wife doesn't yell at me for being in the garage all day.
@@TunerwithKids When you get ready to make the coating purchase see if the graphene coatings are available. Right now you have to be certified for the good ones but the tech is coming for us to apply it. Good Luck
I actually just ordered AvalonKing Armor Shield ix, got enough to do the IS and the van. Not looking forward to the prep work. I need to clean, clay, compound and polish....errrrr.
Hey bro I’m not trying to sound rude but epoxy resin and epoxy glue are two totally different things. You should be using epoxy resin to fill those holes and not Apoxsee glue. I recommend amazing clear cast epoxy. The stuff is so durable I’ve used it in parts underneath my hood and it holds up just fine.
The Don iDK, it holds a place in my heart. I was considering selling it a few years back, but at the time it was worth like $9k and I felt it was worth more as a daily driver. I’d probably buy another project before I ever sell this.
Tuner with Kids I agree you have too many hours invested. If your up to more projects I have some IS250 parts to be installed in Orlando. Please email me- ddonlaynlo@gmail.com maybe we can collaborate. Cheers.
I’m garaged most of the time. The roof spoiler was like two years. The resin wasn’t too great on it. The trunk spoiler was about 2-1/2 years. It started hazing.
Hey man so I was thinking of buying a similar trunk spoiler as yours and a roof spoiler like the one you have both from seller Racing Gear. Do you recommend them? And do you think I should clearcoat them upon getting them, since I noticed you said they probably do not come clear coated.
For the price, its good value. I would recommend doing a 800 grit block sand of the resin and spraying a few wet coats of 2K urethane before install for UV protection. As I suspect in my video, they probably just polished the resin without UV protection and explains why they have oxidized in less than 2 years when I am usually garaged. I will have the wetsand/buff/polish video of the clearcoat I sprayed up in a week or two.
That was two hours cured. I wait a week and then wet sand 1000 up to 1500 or 2000 and compound/polish for shine and fix any dust or imperfections. I’ll have a video of that soon.
If you do a good wet final coat with no runs or dry edges, you can forgo the wet sand. But I’m perfectionist so little things bother me so I do the extra steps.
dunno if you guys gives a shit but if you guys are stoned like me atm you can watch all the latest series on Instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my brother for the last months :)
I use brake parts cleaner all the time for hard adhesive on paint. It won’t mess up paint cause it evaporates so fast. Brake fluid is something you don’t put on paint.

Thanks for this my M3's carbon is looking a little ashy
I used 120 grit to get through my clear peeling clear coat.

@@TunerwithKids Excellent,,,,Avalon King,,,,, it's going to be amazing when you're done.
Love your video. you put in some work in. I hope u PPF it after this job!! looks awsome.
Great Video.. I need to do my carbon spoiler too. Very informative Video you have

You can use the glue the exact same way
Wow amazing work! Would you ever consider selling your Lexus?

Great job. How long did it last in the sun before you start to notice yellowing?

@@TunerwithKids Nice sounds good, ill definitely check that video out once it's up. Thanks for the help!
@@TunerwithKids absolutely.sound advice. A lot of carbon fiber does not come with clear coating so it must be done by the buyer.
The JB clearweld takes forever to cure its not that you didnt mix enough hardner, I've had the same issues before.
Probably wasn’t the best stuff to use but I already had it.
@@TunerwithKids its a good epoxy just doesnt set fast as it says which is annoying.
So I’m actually installing my trunk spoiler at this moment and was wondering if it sits flush with the stop of trunk or if it’s slightly in.
Should be flush.
Tuner with Kids darn lol. I my fit didn’t look or fit super flush. I think I’m a cm or two away from edge of trunk
Did you have to do anything else to it after spraying the clear coat or does it dry like that? It looks incredible

@@TunerwithKids can't wait to see that one!
What do you use to sand the oxidize for the carbon fiber ?
600 grit then clear coat. Needs a rough surface for clear to adhere.
How has this held up? I wanna do this to a carbon fiber roof spoiler on my wrx that came in a matte finish. I wanna turn it glossy
It’s good so far. No issues with it. I use all the time now so I’m happy with it. Much easier than cleanup after using compressor and spray gun.
Is a spray gun better for the clear coat ?
Yea but the cleanup is the time consuming part.
so you cant just spray that over a brand new piece of carbon, you have to sand it down first?
You sand with 600 grit to give it something to adhere to.
Would it be cheaper to buy a new one?
$120 or $17 and some time, your choice.
@@TunerwithKids well you seem so stressed out. Why post your videos $400
Sometimes the part might need another coat of resin on surface

@Moshe Raiden definitely, have been watching on Instaflixxer for since december myself =)
very difficult to paint in the wind......
Is the 2k clear scratch resistant?
2k is same clear as any car paint clear coat.
I don't wanna be your neighbor.😏
Luckily they don’t care about their cars or paint. 🤣😂. I’m helping their clear coat with overspray.
Bet 50 you did your own hair !
Probably…that was my first cut at beginning of Covid. So barber shop was closed and DIY at home.
@@TunerwithKids love your content !!! Keep it up and don’t worry all man cut their own hair !!!
Let me drop my car off at your house so you can do all these things that I need done lol.
Lol, I barely have time for my projects with wife and kids haggling me all day.
You should have removed the trim completly before restoring the parts, also don't ever use brake cleaner on paint!
