No swirls here thanks to Prima Swirl!


Thanks to Prima's products like Cosmonot and Hydro, this engine bay looks spectacular and not distracting alongside the model!

 

Haha, nice idea!

 

Another Use for CosmoNot but Be Careful!

Ok I read Mark's advice about being careful to not let CosmoNot sit on the paint too long because it softened his unclearcoated paint in the engine bay. But today I had to remove a very stubborn chunk of adhesive foam tape used to hold on an emblem. The customer decided to remove the badge himself, leaving the foam tape behind and wanted ME to deal with it.

I tried all kinds of things from Goo Gone to PW to a hair dryer to just rubbing little bits and pieces off and nothing really worked that well. As a desperate move, I wondered if CosmoNot would do anything. I applied a little bit to the foam tape with a Q-Tip, and surprisingly it wiped off with a little effort. You do have to let the CosmoNot penetrate the foam tape for a bit and that's where it might seem a little scary...just don't apply it and forget it, lol. Set a timer if you have to.

Regardless, in about 30 minutes I removed what was taking me all day of pain and frustration. Btw, I know there are different adhesive removers and precleaners that could remove the tape but I didn't have any on hand, so I used what I had, and surprisingly CosmoNot worked very well!

Well you've heard of paint being described as hard or soft paint right? What determines the hardness is the ratio of hardener the painter used. It's a very fine balancing act where if you use too little hardener, it never dries, so usually the painters will err on the harder side. Compositionally though, I think both base coat and clearcoat are the same, just that one has pigment and the other doesn't.
