Completely Transforming My BMW E30 With 3M Undercoating

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Chromatic Garage "E30 Origami Tee": bit.ly/42ES0Jz
In this video we clean and prep my 1991 BMW E30 for a 3M undercoating. This was a process I have been extremely excited to tackle for a very long time. The undercarriage of the car was in general great shape, with a couple areas needing addressing. So that is what I did, removed any rust, applied one of my favourite products which is POR15, scuffed the whole undercarriage, and finished it off with layers of 3M undercoating which has been recommended and trusted by a number of body shops that I look up to. Now? We have a fully prepped undercarriage ready to have an outrageous amount of shiny parts and money stuck to the bottom of it. You love to see it. Thank you guys for watching!

    Impressive, as usual I'd say, how thorough and clean of a work that is, can't imagine the patience needed and all the little struggles we probably don't see... Sounds like a messy and difficult job to do when you think about it, and so would say all those I've seen trying on KZread, yet you make it so peaceful and satisfying to watch! Your camera job has been on another level lately, the intro is a work of art 👌 I think that my ultimate dream currently would be to have a workshop like yours, with tons of space and equipment to restore vintage OEM+ BMWs or japanese cars down to the bare chassis. (then I remember I live in a small apartment, and just got my E36 323ti's sills poorly undercoated again because rust always come back... hope one day it can get properly treated like one of your cars! )
