Rally North America - Ohio Valley 700 Charity Rally!

[Dan@Adams]

It's been quite a while since I've posted on this forum unfortunately...life happens - work was chaotic the last year, family members got sick, and so on, but I'm not here to complain about that or look for sympathy.

 

What I am posting about is that I'm participating in the Ohio Valley 700 Rally taking place this weekend, October 4-6th - pre-rally festivities are on the 4th and the rally itself takes place on the 5th and 6th.  The purpose of the rally is to support the Western Ohio Epilepsy Foundation, in memory of Cody Converse.  Cody passed away in early 2013 from a condition known as SUDEP Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy. Cody was larger than life, and very wise beyond his 17 years. All the proceeds raised in this event will be given to the Western Ohio Epilepsy Foundation. The 2 day event will take us from Beavercreek Ohio, to French Lick Indiana, and Back.

 

Our team name is Team Stealth SS. I decided to enter my TBSS in the rally instead of my GTO, mainly to give the GTO a break and the SS is still a lot of fun. 

 

I'm not begging for donations in any way, but if you would like to support the Epilepsy Foundation of Western Ohio by making a donation through my team, please send me a PM.  I am not sure I am allowed to post any donation links on this forum.

 

Since I'm always a little different and get bored, I decided to spray the entire truck in Anthracite Grey Metallic Plastidip for protection, and I thought it would look cool, lol.  I know some people out there despise the product, but I think it turned out quite well.  I then started putting on all of the sponsor decals.  A HUGE thank you to Adam's Polishes for sending me some goodies and some decals to put on the vehicle for the rally!  I ended up putting one on the hood, one on each front fender, and one on the rear glass - my thoughts are those are the areas people will see most   Oh, and Waterless Wash works fantastic for cleaning the Plastidip

 

Anyway, onto the pictures!

 

Before:

 

 

First I did the wheels in satin black as a test:

 

 

Then I prepped the whole truck:

 

 

After, Satin Anthracite Grey Metallic:

Thanks for posting over here DT, glad we could help you out. Good luck on the rally this weekend!

 

For those of you not familiar with Plasti Dip, it LOVES Waterless Wash!

Dan your TBSS looks great, good luck and have fun!

I like the color choice.

 

Im normally very anti plasti dip, but i can see why it would be a good idea to spray the car before the rally.

Man that turned out awesome! What did you do for prep and how many coats did you apply? Make sure you post up some pics of how it holds up after!

 

I hope the rally goes well and have fun!
