by thin you mean not enough color or maybe it just needed more polishing?
No im not gonna wax it, you told me not to until the bumper is fixed.
as for thin...im not sure you can like see a little whiteness, i dunno if its primer peeking through or some leftover compound honestly i havent seen it since like march-ish so i dont completely recall.
when its at my house ill get you detailed pics and everything.
as for the fisheye thing i think it was on the hood, but i forget what it looked lik..maybe a popped bubble or something like i said havent seen it in forever so i cant recall exactly.
i dont think any of its too big.
oh and side note, would it be easier just to mold the front bumper to the fenders? or would that turn to crap in a few years like shaved door handles?

it would turn to crap, and never come off again.
I hate that bumper!
its probably compound thats dried and not buffed off all the way, once that compound dries its very hard to get off. I remember the color matching the gascap that was sprayed seperate perfectly, so its probably just compound.
As for the fish eye- it could very well be a solvent entrapment that popped, it was INCREDIBLY hot the day I sprayed that car, it was over 100 degrees in the booth.

yea im never doing another one of these bumpers
But yea, dont think im upset or anything, there's nothing major wrong plus i need a couple more things sprayed soon (sideskirts...and maybe diffuser but i think it comes black so maybe not....which i will obviously pay you for)
as for the bubble thing...i think i only noticed one...and it wasnt that bad but i was hoping itd be an easy fix figured id wait to show it to you and let you decide.
cant wait till its finished and we/I can wax it...its going to be ******* BRILLIANT! lol.
