With the clear laid over both sides, the tape line disappeared.
I did all this with Spray bombs.

What is a spray bomb? I googled it and could not find any pictures. |

Re: Black Infiniti I30 bumper repair & detail
^ i believe spraybomb is slang for repeated use of spray cans.
wow this is great work! i have lots of paint cracking on my front bumper (mostly due to bad bodyshop work) and am thinking i need to do the same thing. i dont really know much about painting.. you started off first by sanding it down via machine correct? then it goes primer, paint, CC?

If you consider yourself "just a detailer" I have just demoted myself to "just a car washer"! 
Fantastic work. |
