As a reference, you can also find plasti-dip in most of the bigger DIY stores, such as Home Depot or Lowes.

Oh I would LOVE to get new wheels, but my wallet doesn't allow for it at the moment and I really don't want to deal with warranty bull**** from previous experience.

When you get ready again to purchase wheels, make sure that you check out American Muscle... best customer service around!

Cleaned up the paint, wheels, emblems and took some better shots for you guys.

Yes, there was tire shine on the tires and wheels. Just use a soft cloth to do it.



The pony emblem stood well against the hose and mitten. I only told them to be careful with the wheels, because they're plasti dipped, but forgot to mention the emblems, so it held up pretty good.






Can't wait for my 4 post spoiler to come in


The plasti dip held up really good even though I had to rip the masking tape off the rotors early yesterday because it started to thunder storm like mad and I had to park facing down the driveway so my trunk wouldn't flood again.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I'm gonna see if any stores around here have this so I don't have to wait xD I got just a question: Instead of putting the whole car on stands to do this, why not do one wheel at a time? Take 1 off, do the coats (approx 1 hour per tire) then put it back on, move on to the next and so on? Seems logical to me if you don't need your car for about 4 hours...just take an afternoon and do it. I understand doing all at the same time while the car is on stands is WAY quicker but I'm kinda scared to put it on stands nor do I own any xD Stop me now if that's not the way to go (doing 1 at a time)
