ChargerMatt Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Had a fun little Sunday... spent from 9-5 in the garage. Paint is almost perfect except for a few scratches I need to get out here and there. I'll tackle those within the month. Process: 2 bucket strip wash with APC/Shampoo Clay bar Wipe down 1 Pass SHR 1 Pass FMP QS BG Americana DS Wipe down Pardon my cell phone pictures, but I don't have a good camera... or any other photographic device taker for that matter. And my first "gratuitous Von Kleisting"! (I hope I spelled that right) Overall it came out fantastic. The little blobs/speckles are most likely overspray or something from my way to school and back today. Now Adam's just needs to come out with some kind of arthritis medication and I'll be an even more committed customer for life! Oh, and for those who have plastidipped wheels... use some VRT on them next time... amazing the difference it puts on there. Now to wait for my staggered 20" viper replicas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChargerMatt Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 Looks GREAT! Hard work, but worth it right? It's a good feeling having the opportunity to open up the garage and just smile and have something to be proud of like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure how plastidip and the SS would mesh together, but I'm over it seeing as how my vipers will be here in ~3 weeks or so. These tires will be gone next winter... and I'm looking forward to trying to light them up in my 3.5L tank! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
