What happens here

To address hail damage, the car's paint clear coat must first be scuffed to provide a proper adhesion surface for the Rhino Lining. This is done by hand using red sanding sponges, creating a dull, slightly rough texture on the clear coat. Then, carefully mask off all areas of the car that will *not* be receiving the Rhino Lining, including windows, lights, trim, and the lower sections of the body. Two individuals, wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) like respirators and safety glasses, then use a specialized spray gun system to apply the black Rhino Lining. The application is shown on the roof, side pillars, and trunk lid, creating a textured, durable finish that conceals the hail damage and provides a unique aesthetic. The video specifically opts for Rhino Lining the car from the top rail up to maintain a balance with the original car color, avoiding an 'overpowered' look.

Goal: Apply Rhino Lining to the hail-damaged areas to cover imperfections and create a new aesthetic.
