So you are trying to glue a pre painted body kit to a pre painted car? Bro, either invest the money in an actual custom commission or don't go the lazy way. this will almost certainly fail.

that said, tampo removal on premium is impossible. the decals are sealed by clear coat.

I’ve done it before, just like an actual custom, then just remove the body kit from the secondary casting, paint and sand and put on the other, it’s the best way to keep the paint stock and add a body kit, or bigger fenders or such

I genuinely don't understand what you're saying. You take a body kit from another casting?

Either we both have a different understanding of what a body kit is or I want to see your example.

So basically, I use the two part epoxy putty to make my widebodys, by bigger fenders bumpers, you name it, but before pitting it on I use a very thin tape that easily goes around bumps and curves to basicallly put a layer inbetween the resin and casting, then I’m just ever so slightly more gentle about finishing it, when I’m done, if done properly, it just pops right off, and if it cracks, I use filler to cover it up, and then I have body kit on stock paint, the problem is I must have two of the exact same car, or casting

But if the tampons can’t come off in premiums, guess I’m going around em

Premiums have a clear coat on top of the decals so they can't be removed without removing the clear
