where to buy 3m backing plate?

I realy want to pic up one of those small 3m backing plates but i ama having trouble finding them. i know ill have to import them fro the uk but what site can i pick them up from
thanks for the info

 

I think this question is for Nica and Fminus.

 

Calgary I got five of them coming and I ordered my goodies from Rich at Polished Bliss. He dosen't have them posted up on his website, well at least not yet but Rich had a heck of a time getting the 5/8th backing plate.

I should be getting them next week some time :thumb: Oh plus other goodies :woot: :woot:

 

five, nice. are they all the one colour or both?(i belive i have seen yellow nad blue but i could be wrong) ohhand what other goddies.... :chitchat:

 

If I'm not mistaken they are all with the yellow foam...mmm...I don't think there is a blue but there is a grey one like the ones that FMINUS purchased.

What other goodies...mmm...can't tell you..mmmmuuuuuaaaaahhhhhaaaaa :devil:

 

ok grey, thats right. YOu will have to let me know how the backing plates go. if they are good ill have to order some.

and you will have to make sure to post lots of pics for us

 

The 3M backing plate is wicked...that's all I use...well not unless I'm using a wool pad then I have to use the regular Lake Country backing plate..nothing wrong with the regular backing plates it's just that the foam in between the backing plate makes a big difference...well at least I think so :2cents:

 

so do the 3m baking plates wear down? i know the yellow ones i have dont seem to wear down, looks like they will last for years to come. Are the 3m the same or are they more dispoable like a pad.

 

I've been using the 3M backing plate for quite a bit now...mmm...can't remember how many vehicles I've done with the same bacing plate and I have no complaints...it has some war woonds though but nothing that will destroy it....keeps on going!!

Now we are talking backing plates right..not foam pads..um..right?

 

cool thanks for the info, and yeah we are talking backing plates.. i just ment that the bakcing plates i have dont show wear like pads do.. but you cleared that up

thanks for the info carlos

 

Happy to help Mike...when I get the goodies in I'll let you know :chitchat:

 

cool thanks i look forward to it.:coffee:

ohh and on a side not, good news on my garage, we had an electrtion come to owkr on it today, should be done tom night. which means im stuffing insulation this weekend, which means i need to get a heater but i may be washing cars in a head garage... well even without a heater i can get one i plug in or something. either way im stoked :dance:

 

Congrats that's wicked news :thumb:

Oh don't get the heater I got...it's too small :woopdedoo:

I need a larger unit now....booooo...it's not bad but you know me and cold :lol:

 

you have a wall mounted heater right?

we are going to go with a gas one eventually bt thas when we have some more cash.
I am thinking of going to CT and picking up a large room heater. I had one in my old room desgined for 1000sqft or somethin, did and awsome job, best part is it was like 100 bucks.

ohh and there are now 4 bar lights, with 2 bars each.. my garag is going to glow

 

Oh...that heater sounds nice..4bar lights? Doo tell...no, no wait I don't need anymore lights...I'll be upgrading my lights in the garage to the T5...high out put baby!!!! I'll neeed sun glasses to be able to operate the rotary hahahahaha

 

yeah there the standard 8ft cold start bar lights.. should be nice and bright. Im looking at getting a few more of those plug in bar lights ofr the corners but we will se how bright these are first, should be good.

sowhat are these t5 lights, you have me intrigued... ohh yeah what kind of insulation did you gow tih in your garage? im looking at the standard r14 fiberglass insulation (like the pink stuff)..did you go with the pink stuff (or other colours0 or the hard sheet stuff?

i want this grage to be the bestest ever.. yeah i said bestest

 

lol...I hear you Calgary, garage is the best place for man :scared: oh wait no females around :whistle:

The T5 are wicked...they are very effient, thing buggers too...alot thiner then the regular T8 and have an output double the T8's :wicked:

I'm just waiting to receive the fixtures to replace the existing fixtures and I'm good to go wooohooo.

Insulation...walls got the R14, yes PinkPanther stuff...there is better insulation but I felt this would do....but the roof got double time :muscle:

The roof is where you would want to concentrate that and around windows...well that's what I did

 

cool thanks for the info, we have some stuff ofr the roof, i think its r24.. our handyman said he has never seen it.

those T5 lights sone awsome, to bad i already have the other lihts, i might have to change it in the summer.

 

You want good lighting in the garage Calgary, it makes a big difference...specially for detailing.
