Blackout Tape.

O, how is it going to get on the rotor if the brakes and everything else is covered in plastic?

How? You are going to be sticking your hands in between spokes trying to cover everything but since the wheel is in the way you may miss a spot or a couple spots. That is how.
I'm just telling you the way you should do it. You will get a better more even coat if you can move the wheel or move around the wheel as you are spraying the stuff on. With plasti-dip you really don't have to worry about overspray but I still wouldn't want that stuff gumming up my brakes. It is your car. If you want to half-ass it that is your prerogative.

So confrontational.

I was simply asking as you can tell Weasel and I arent Pep Boys, jesus.

[OracleHCR]

I'm not being confrontational. I was just trying to be informative.

*edit- re-reading it it does sound a little confrontational doesn't it? Sorry. Try imagine it is The Dude talking to you and it will come off a little better.

The floor jack is a good thing to own anyway and with it, it will take you all of 5 minutes to take off both front wheels or back wheels at the same time.

Take the few minutes and take the tires off the car.

Weasel, let me know how your convo went with the wife when you tried to explain what we are doing here.

Mine was fun.

"You want to spray paint our rims??? Why would you want to spray paint our rims?????????"

I can just imagine the crazy look an a wife's face during this conversation

After having some dinner and talking it through, showing some pics, how easy it comes off, etc., she finally grasped it.

Then it was, it looks "too black"

Women!

It is if You include all the variations. I was posting it on the plane but was asked to shut my phone off prior to landing. I went to click submit after landing and get the other posts have been submitted message to find the same picture posted.

I'm kind of embarrassed about this thread title now. Damn you Xzibit!

[Cnasty]

Hows that Durango holding up Hoos?

Or did you get a new mini van with the new family and all?

For shits and giggles I messed around with it a bit this afternoon. I dipped the chrome grill on my Focus, as well as the chrome 'Focus" nameplate on the back. I was actually impressed with how easy it was, and its looks descent. I fucked up on the back when I was peeling off the excess around the letters and scuffed it in two spots, but it takes nothing to just redo it.

Yeah, I have no idea how to get pics up without going through FB. If you want to PM me your number I can send you a couple though.

Bought from Menards (not sure if thats a national chain or not), $5.xx/can. Just bought one can for a small grill/back nameplate and was plenty. I didnt see that they had any glossifier though

[Cnasty]

PM sent.

I checked Lowes.com and they said it was in store with glossifier so hope its correct.

You want the matte finish or you going glossy?

[Weasel]

Matte

[Weasel]

Corey, if you know how to put up those pics youre more than welcome to.

[Cnasty]

You did a great job on the grille.

Ill post the pics here to see them bigger.
