    Prep for BlackIce

    Hey Todd,

    I will be applying BI this weekend, and to prep the surface would there be any benefit to use TPnS over GEP?

    Also what is the cure time for BI before exposing the vehicle to the environment?

    Thanks.

    You can apply BlackICE over GEP or ANY BLACKFIRE product (including TPnS). While there may be some benefit to applying it over a product, it is important to remember that BlackICE is one of the, if not the, longest lasting LSPs in the BLACKFIRE line up.

    i say just prep with bfgep and see how it looks as a stand alone. if you`re feeling energetic, maybe do a side by side with the bftpns (that is if the temps up there get above 32 and it stops snowing long enough.)

    Longest lasting?? I did not know that. Thats great news.

    I am thinking of trying TPNS cleaned up with Poly spray, and the second half of the panel with GEP. Lets see how it holds up

    Yea...I came to FL this weekend to drop off the white Acura, man was it hot. The adjustment will take some time. We should do OCDetailing meet

    I would think TPnS would detract. I would go straight from GEP.

    I tried it once with BFWD and to be honest I had a hard time telling the difference. Wonder if it will effect durability.

    Re: Prep for BlackIce

    imo, gep straight to black ice, just to see how it looks on the car by itself, truly test how awesome it`ll look on black or something dark!

    also, pics please(when done) hahaha
