Makes for some bad-*** window tint too. Not recommended for windshields.

Yea you can find this stuff at pretty much any home store like Lowe's or Home Depot. Usually $6-$7 a can.


Got my wheels put on this weekend. Im washing the truck tomorrow so dont pay attention to how dirty it is! Hoping that these wheels help me get close to a 10.00 flat at the 1/8mi tomorrow! These 18s with 265/60-18 Goodyear SR-As are just a few pounds (5-10) heavier per wheel than my 20"x8" Centerlines with 285/50-20 Nexan Roadian HPs, but they are about a full inch shorter in overall height. Truck seems to get up and move a little better on the shorter tire.

Well I got one shot of my truck at the track today and my buddy took one on his iPhone while we were rolling home from the track. Ive got to get my bumpers done ASAP! They look so out of place now.

And just FYI you CAN use tire/trim shine to help bring a slight gloss to the Plasti-Dip.


Between runs.

I tried painting over plastidip today and it worked. I did it on the crappy plastic chrome v8 emblems I had and it seemed to work alright. Didnt bleed through and peeled off pretty good too.

Im guessing you used it almost like a primer and just sprayed the paint directly over it? How many coats of plasti did you spray before the paint?
