Cool thread.

Those wheels look great dipped. Also digging that roof.


What colors does this stuff come in?

You can get a red or blue liquid I believe to dip tools in but only seen black in spray.

Ive seen other colors in spray as well. White being one of them. I did my hood/grille and wheels earlier in the summer. Still dotn have any great shots of it.





Its VERY hard to get even coverage out of this stuff on large areas using the spray can. On my grille and wheels it looks awesome, but the hood is a little blotchy.

The roof and hood ideas look pretty damn good! Ill have to tell my buddy about the uneveness issue of spraying such a large area. But I have seen pictures on the net of whole vehicles done that dont look uneven Not sure how they managed that. Although Im sure with enough coats of this stuff it may even out decently.

Friday is gonna be the day I get my wheels on and hopefully Ill have enough daylight left after work to spray my front/rear chrome bumpers.

You are lucky then! Around here the stores that have it stock nothing but black spray on (WHEN they actually have it in stock).

One trick i have learned from my late brother was if you are using rattle cans to warm them up in hot water, this helps them flow better, might help.

He painted some motorcycle tanks using this trick and you couldnt tell they were spray bombed.

Man i miss him ( OT )
