ssjoeboe9

HOLY SHHHHHHHH.... I'm buying the Silver RIGHTTTT NOW!

ssjoeboe9

And... two cans are on their way to Florida. Was gunna wait until I installed springs to paint but as soon as this metalizer comes in I'm trying it out. Will contact you pyro about prepping with wheels still on car when I start.

highly recommend you take the wheels off to plastidip. it's easier and you don't jeopardize any of the lines and stuff with the brakes in the process. don't be a modesto.

slickooz

Gold metallic finish looks sick!! Might try this once it gets warmer.

ssjoeboe9

lol^^ oh modesto... I would if I had the proper tools, or garage or time. However, Covering all of the parts behind the wheel is very easy. I am not worried at all about messing up the brakes or coating something too thick as to make it malfunction. Lastly if the plastidip reached any detrimental part of my brake assembly that means it was open to receive the paint and also open for me to peel it off.

PyroDave

i did it with them on the car both times, no problems. actually i had warped rotors before the first time, i swear i dont feel it anymore, and i tried hitting the brakes at 80, which is when i used to feel them, and even at 40-50. nothing. maybe weird coincidence since i mean it was all covered. i figured out a really easy way to cover the entire caliper and brake and everything actually. most of the inside of my rim didn't even get sprayed. no way i jeapoardized the brakes. use a garbage bag on each. just make a smal slit in one side, then slide it in through one spoke hole, reach around from another spoke hole, and just put it on the caliper and everything, then tape the 2 ends together. took a min per wheel, and came off in about 20 seconds. i also didn't cordon off the tire, cause honestly, it peels off just the tire really easily, and its just extra rubber on the sidewall. who cares

denwhat

PyroDave

love that site. look at this TL http://www.dipyourcar.com/shop/page/...YI&shop_param=
and you can make a custom color. i'll be trying blue on the lugs and the valve stem cap. and maybe a gloss on the entire wheels. you can technically use regular paint over plastidip, and it'll still come off just fine. just make sure you have enough plasti to cover everything you wanna paint. and a tip my friend gave me. let your plasti dry for 24-48 hours minimum prior to doing that. if you don't, the fumes that come off the drying plasti will get trapped under the paint and crack it

PS: denwhat, you should come out to a meet soon! ride into jersey with moaarlow maybe

ssjoeboe9

I just said I would lol my cans will be here in a week.

PyroDave

my ass, though the light is shining through my front windshield so my tints look nearly nonexistant!

MoaarLow

Where in NYC you at Denwhat?
Im in the Bronx, I may make it out there Tuesday. If not this week than im really hoping next week.

denwhat

I thought u were gonna do just ur rims? I linked to a car that was entirely plastidipped!

I'm in Queens...Fresh Meadows area. Where do you guys meet?

slickooz

^ My grandparents live in Bayside, small meet in Queens!

PyroDave

i'll be in brooklyn in a few hours to pick up my grandma and bring her back to jersey lmfao

ssjoeboe9

Cans should be here by Monday, I might be able to spray my wheels on Wed. in between classes but if I can't I'll def have it done next weekend.

VortexBlueTSX

Looks good man! Im thinking of dipping my stock rims (use them for my winter setup)

swarlos

Nice! Stockies look pretty slick in black

PyroDave

im gonna order some plasti dip in the different metalizers and stuff. im thinking of trying the gold on blue look. the subaru look is interesting, and for 30 bucks, ima try it out

swarlos

Gold might be worth a try. But blue...i dunno. I think flat black (the way it is now) will look the best. Small blacked out 5 spoke wheels always remind me of the spoon sw388s. Those wheels just look straight business.

PyroDave

nah i wouldn't do the wheels blue. i'd do blue accents, as in lugs and valve stem cap. but not blue wheels. i was saying making the wheels gold

swarlos

i see. Blue lugs and valve stem might look pretty sweet with black wheels. Gold wheel with blue accents i'm not so sure about. But hey if its cheap, its worth a try. Good luck!

PyroDave

gold wheels i would have black accents

ssjoeboe9

look what I just got in!

Too bad it's supposed to rain all week

denwhat

i remember checking out the regional section and they used to have meets at the hooters, but i was never able to make it out
I'd be down cuz its basically my back yard lol

PyroDave

so are you going to come tomorrow? we're gonna have like 5 CU2's atleast. 8PM ish at menlo park mall in jersey. target parking lot. roll with moaar low, hes coming from bronx with 1 or 2 other people

slickooz

Then your couple minutes away from them. 495 exit 26? I heard about those meet but never made it out there.

Come by tomorrow, should be a huge turn out for us CU2.

KillerG

aww im missing all the meets

PyroDave

true story. you also missed the GIANTs celebration. get it? your in boston right? how were the riots hahaha. teargas at UMass. i was dying laughing

KillerG

well thankfully im not near any undergrad schools so it was business as usual up here, though i did hear about the rampant stupidity in some areas of boston

sis sent me pics of NYC look that night... looked f'ing insane

it was just a mellow night here, i watched the last quarter from the library

most of my Ma friends had very normal facebook feeds after the game but since im from jersey my feed was all like

WOOO GIANTS FUCK YEAH 8===D~~~ O: <- TOM BRADY!!!

mrstak

iTrader: (1)

you have friends on facebook? oh i fixed above for you...

MoaarLow

Well you'll cross the GWB correct? I live off the last exit on the 95 in the Bronx, Jerome Ave. So if you get onto 95 you can jump off there. Theres a Sunoco Gas Station right off the exit where we can get together.

denwhat

ahh decisions. im gonna have the shittiest car at the meet with my keyed door panels and nyc bumper parking damage

Ill prolly take the Holland or cut through Staten Island cuz im already further south from you. what time do u guys plan on getting there?

@slickooz I'm at exit 25..so yeah haha basically the same place

PyroDave

yea? take a look at the first page of this thread. parking garage pillar >> key marks. try to get there at about 8:30, thats when we'll be showing up. people come by 8. some people come later. all the CU2's park together =D

tobwac

Are we going for the TL's record and going for 10 CU2?

denwhat

lol true story.

gonna go wash my car, maybe i should put on my lip spoiler today too...

PyroDave

we were pretty damn close. that was amazing. toby, den, samace, kait, gameover, moaar low, slickooz and me. 8 CU2's in one place! and we had a CL9 join us. so technically we did have 9 TSX's!!

PyroDave
