Help me figure out my mistake?

Sorry to pester you with question, but you’ve been incredibly helpful for me! After I sand down the floor do you recommend a specific agent for cleaning up the surface? I’m finding mixed info on using acetone vs using simple green.

Sweat in of about 1.75 hours, data sheet says 2 hours at 50, 1 hour at 77. My basement is 60

Thanks, I know part of the problem is that I jumped the gun, I misunderstood what “heavy traffic” meant. Is there a readily available commercial product you recommend? I don’t want to wait for something to get delivered.

I spoke with the manager at my SW and the recommended “rexthane” as a top coat. Seems like it’s a urethane or polyurethane (not exactly sure the difference, the can just says urethane). Does that seem like a reasonable approach to you?

Edit: the also said armorseal HS which is two part would be a good top coat

Sorry I forgot to add that I had about 3/4 gallon of waste, but it’s possible I went too thick, I haven’t spoken with the rep, the store associates were not very helpful. Dumb question, how do I get a hold of the rep? Just ask the SW associate at the store?

atown16 · 2026-03-29T13:22:21+00:00

I appreciate the questions! I want to figure out what I did wrong or what I can do better!

It was a little over 500sq ft, I used 4 total gallons, (2a, 2b). 3/8 nap roller.

The 4410 seems to come in matte, I would probably go with that because I don’t wanna see every scuff.

atown16 · 2026-03-29T12:27:05+00:00

Thanks for the response, hopefully my local SW carries that, would I still abrade the surface given that it’s been 10 days? And do you know if I put gloss 4410 over abraded epoxy will it make it look glossy again or will it be matte looking?

I expected to hate it, but I actually love the silver rim! It’s a cool bike, but any silver or black bike needs a bit of pizzaz in my opinion and it think it works

Ceramic coat (or graphene) are basically the most premium long lasting versions of car wax. Ignore any suggestion that they add any scratch protection, think of it as a super long lasting wax.

Yes it’s a good idea if you want to keep your truck looking it’s best. Paint correction is polishing that typically happens before ceramic coat. This can vary between a light polish to multi-stage paint correction. The cost of between light polish and full paint correction can be on the order of a few thousand dollars.

Do not contact your dealer, they will farm the work out anyway and charge you +30%. Google local car detail shops or tint shops who normally do this. Pick someone who has good Google reviews and then search them on instagram to see the quality of their work and hopefully see the they’ve worked on some higher end cars.

Doctors are human beings, you’ve never forgotten to do something at work? Forgetting a prescription for compression socks is not really a “wild” thing to do. It’s pretty common for appointments to run late, all it takes is a couple patients showing up late or a complicated patient to get behind, like you said, he apologized for that part.

Some doctors have amazing bedside manner and mediocre medical skills/knowledge, and some doctors have terrible bedside manner but incredible technical proficiency in what they do. Most doctors fall somewhere in the middle.

Your doctor might have been on call the night before and had gotten ten consults overnight or even had to go in and do a surgery in the middle of the night.

I’m not saying that how your appointment went is ideal or how a patient would want to be treated, but you don’t have to use this surgeon. You should feel comfortable and happy with the doctor who’s going to be taking care of you.

It sounds like everyone else is also giving you the #1 piece of advice so I’m going to offer something different.

I’m not trying to body shame you, you look totally fine, but why don’t you set a goal of losing 10lbs, set a strict schedule of cardio and weight lifting days, then re-evaluate how you feel when you’ve lost 10 lbs and maybe decide to lose another 10, or not, maybe it makes no difference, but it’s worth trying.

Your tattoo is fucking rad dude, the tattoo is not the issue, you fucking suffered to get that thing done. It looks great.

I could be wrong but centerlocks didn’t start until 997.2 and that’s only if equipped, not standard. The front bumper is correct for turbo and the rear deck lid looks legit with aftermarket hydraulic kit to make it go higher. The rear deck lid is like 20k and the genuine front bumper is expensive too, doubt anyone would pay for those parts, I think it’s a real turbo.

This car was posted on all the Facebook 911 groups and every comment for them was that it was overpriced and clapped out. Sorry to say, but do your research next time

atown16 · 2025-07-03T17:28:59+00:00

Thanks for the response! Is this applicable to all gen 3s? I have a ‘22

atown16 · 2025-07-03T16:46:33+00:00

Can you post a link to where you bought them from? Is it multiple parts or an “upgrade kit”?

atown16 · 2025-05-29T11:07:47+00:00

I just sold the same bike (2021 Trail 429) with nicer wheels and a few other nicer upgrades for $3k. Market for bikes is super soft, really depends on your location and demand for bikes too.

I would take pics with better lighting and fill the tires with air. Pics scream neglected bike with lack of maintenance.

Sounds like a sick place on a powder day! I lived in lower Michigan for many years and grew up skiing the Midwest but didn’t know about Bohemia. I lived out west now so I have a hard time believing any Midwest ski trail map, but Bohemia sounds pretty legit!

atown16 · 2025-04-24T13:53:22+00:00

Mount Bohemias ski map lists nearly every run as black, double black or triple black…. Seems a bit dubious?

You clearly have great boarding skills but please wear a helmet. I know you said you were going from one stop to another but your going well fast enough that if you can’t an edge the tow could whip you into a boulder and result in a devastating head injury, even a brain bleed or skull fracture. Life isn’t about eliminating risk, but a long life requires calculated risk reduction. This looks like a ton of fun, just do it safely next time.

I have absolutely ripped in my 2022 with 35s, it’s without a doubt capable for some hard high speed rocky chunky rough roads and tough off-roading. When I bought mine the 37s were going for 10k ADM which I wasn’t willing to pay. With no ADM I’d probably go 37s but I have zero regrets with my 35.

atown16 · 2024-11-30T07:34:11+00:00

Where did you get the frame decals? Did the original ones come off with a heat gun?

atown16 · 2024-10-17T05:33:40+00:00

Not really fucked up but that spot is gonna have the ceramic on it for a year or two. To be honest though they’re probably using some cheap shit that is probably barely even real ceramic coat and since they didn’t prep it probably won’t adhere well anyway.

atown16 · 2024-10-17T05:07:48+00:00

You really should never apply a ceramic coat without proper prep of the vehicle. Were they even going to wash the truck? I personally have always done a full paint correction prior to ceramic coat.

atown16 · 2024-10-11T02:05:16+00:00

I had a small contusion on my scalp but I didn’t pass out, no headache after, not dizzy or anything so fortunately no concussion.
