I've not posted here for quite some time. Well, with nothing but time on my hands right now, I figured why not?
I polished through a small spot on my hood in the summer of '18. I was chasing a defect and got a bit carried away. Oh well, happens.
The car had a Clear Bra on it that was installed in the spring of 2008, it was time to remove it anyways. So an appointment was made with a top of the line body and paint guy, Andy Arter owner of Kessis Body Shop in Hanover, PA, to take care of the paint and body work, and a with a shop that does wraps, etc for after the paint gasses off.
First the old Clear Bra needed removed. I'd also talked with Shane Weldon, who would be wrapping the front of the car after the paint work was done, he said to make sure I used heat to remove the old Clear Bra. Guess I should have listened.
Oops...
Hind sight being what it is, I shouldn't have ripped the Clear Bra off like a Band Aid, not such a good idea. The SAP Side Skirts were painted after I bought them in 2007 and there were a couple sags in the paint, so I figured now was a good time to get them taken care of too. While at it, the SAP Spoiler needed a bit of work from a small repair I wasn't satisfied with that was done after I first bought the Spoiler. Arrangements were made to have Hood, Side Skirts, and Rear Spoiler taken care of by Andy.
Lesson learned, heat was used to remove the remaining Clear Bra over the front SAP Bumper Cover Extension. The 10 year old Clear Bra material was starting to yellow, and due for replacement.
The Side Skirts and Spoiler were removed and thrown into the back of my Dodge Magnum. Charlie, skipopeye, and I headed off to Kess's in Hanover, PA to drop the car and parts off for the paint and body work.
