The Ions look sick plasti-dipped!

I'm gonna be doing some two-tone on my wheels with plasti dip over christmas break, do you like the finish it gives off?

the finish looks great! its a flat black but its not smooth, it has a little grit to it.

ill get some better pics tommorrow of the whole truck and get you some close up shots of the finish to show you how it looks.

str8t, you never stop do you?

How's the supercharger project coming along? I'm probably behind, and you have that done already! By the way, my buddy and I plan on coming back to silver lake next June, the weekend after Memorial Day.

Nice man. Yeah I think that will look much better than the anthracite/grey portions that my wheels currently are.

it takes a good amount of pressure to peel it off. i plasti-dip'd my wiper cowl and wiper arms and i've put the local carwash pressure washer on it about 4" away and it held up fine.
