Cracked Cylinder Diagnosis: Protect Paint

Video Transcript

DOUG JENKINS: Hi. I'm Doug. I work with 20 great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods, and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. Dan is going to stick some welding-protection paper on the fenders of this car. The car has fresh paintwork on it. A lot of guys use vinyl and padding-foam thing, a fender guard. We don't use those here because they can skid around on the fender and slide around and scratch any little bit of dirt that's on there. This adhesive back paper, it sticks there, it doesn't move. We still don't set anything on the car. This is just so that when Dan is working on the car and he bends over the fender, he doesn't scratch it. I'd almost prefer nothing at all, so a guy is thinking really carefully about the nice paint on it and taking really good care of it. But I do allow people to put this paper on it if they want to. It's designed as a welding-and-spark deflector paper. You can buy it from 3M. It's real tough. We've tried other products for this as well. We used to use low-adhesive vinyl, like the backing on stickers, and we put that on there. But if you leave it on for a few days, it leaves a bunch of adhesive on the car and it's a real hassle to get it off. So this goes on easy; it comes off easy. It's real tough and it protects the paint a little bit.
