Just to chime in,
I try really hard to type very carefully. Sometimes I hit the mark and sometimes I miss. So let me clarify what I wrote here about a rotary putting holograms in to a car's paint or coated paint.
Here's what I wrote in the first post of this thread, the last portion of the sentence is the portion causing confusion.
Here's what RZJZA80 pointed out,
Good point and I can appreciate you're reading to the letter what I wrote so let me clarify,
What I meant was what you're inferring. That if a rotary buffer had been used on the truck (or any vehicle), after it had been coated, the rotary buffer would put holograms into the car's paint and it would do this by first removing the coating. Thus as I wrote,
a rotary buffer can put holograms into a car's paint, or coated paint.
And by the above statement "yes" I meant the rotary would put the holograms into the paint by first removing the coating on the paint.
Yeah I can see how a person could take it to mean that but not from me. I'm pretty much up to speed as to the damage a rotary can do to car paint and in my experience, any coating on any paint is going to be removed when buffed with a rotary buffer and thus the holograms will be in the paint, not the coating because the coating will be gone.
I guess a person could use a super soft foam pad and baby oil to buff out a coated car and thus potentially not remove the coating but I have know idea why someone would do this? So assuming a person used at a minimum a fine cut polish and a foam pad, and again, I have know idea why someone would do this to a coated vehicle, but if they did, then I think the polish and the pad would remove the coating and potentially leave holograms in the paint.
If the holograms are super easy to see, then more than likely something more aggressive would have had to have been used, for example a compound and a cutting pad of some sort. At this point this is all hypothetical and I don't like talking in terms of hypothetical and now we're a tick off topic.
I hope the above is as clear as mud.
