Can you even find those in Oregon? They are impossible to track down out here, me and my buddy tried buying one for each of us for about 2 and a half months and couldn't find one to save our lives.

Well I bought alot of shares super low just a few months ago. So I have to wait another 10 months to pull out or I'll get it in the butt with taxes.
Also I'm going to wait awhile anyway for it to jump back up! I'm already 120% in the green!
Maybe I'll cash out my 401k from citigroup since they gave me the option to do that.

It was crazy in my neighborhood - wind was blowing hard about 5-5:30pm! Didn't rain much though, until last night.
I'll be at Speed Concept next week to get my rotors, pads and SS lines installed. It'll be the first upgrade/mod in over a year.

Nah, just want to put like a black paint with clear coat on them, then I want to do the samethibg with my pillars since the sun killed them.
I just don't know if it's somethig I can do myself and still have them look good or just have a shop do them.
Ps 8 more hours!!! I'm half asleep since I let the woman take over! If anyone wants to grab drinks in mac tonight it's on me!!

Black requires a lot of patience to get it right. You're going to need to wet sand a lot, preferably between coats. You'll want to use like 1000 grit 3M wet or dry paper.
Start by wet sanding the actual plastic. Dry thoroughly then apply an adhesion promoter. Probably do 5 coats of base coat, followed by 2 or 3 of clear. In-between coats you need to let the paint get reasonably dry and then wet sand any un-evenness out of the surfact, then dry and spray again. If you wet sand properly you could get it looking really nice. After the last coat of clear you'll need to buff it with rubbing compound followed by swirl mark remover.
If you don't wet sand in-between coats, it'll come out looking ok, but it'll have a lot of orange peel in it. With black if done properly it'll look like a mirror.
Painting requires a lot of time and patience.
