005GTWagon Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 ^ Nice. I want that front end on my wagon. I put on Rally Armour UR mudflaps this weekend. No pics of my wagon but they look good. My next planned mod is to to clear corner and black out my headlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy11 Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 what did you guys clean your wheels with before plasti-dipping them? And how many coats? I did my grille and fog lights last summer, been thinking about doing the wheels Berzerklo i just used plain dish soap and water, but make sure your soap doesnt have aloe or the new lotion soaps. Because that will prevent the plasti dip from sticking. Also dont soak the rim or spray it. Get a towel dip it in your solution just enough to get it moist and clean it with just that rag or towel. then after get another clean rag (DRY) and just pass it over again( this is to get any extra moister that was left). BTW just use a little bit a soap not a ton. just a bit to wear it doesnt really foam up. The other thing you can do is just wash your rims entirely but i would suggest letting it dry completely over night so you dont have any moister when you plastic dip them GOOD LUCK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chimera Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 what did you guys clean your wheels with before plasti-dipping them? And how many coats? I did my grille and fog lights last summer, been thinking about doing the wheels I used brake cleaner. I felt that the brake cleaner residue still remained on the alloys after cleaning so wiped down with methylated spirits after. Brake cleaner is some seriously evil stuff keep well away from your paint work! Important part is a 50% first tack coating and alloy at least an hour to dry before next 3 coats Chimera looks nice man, hey what photo url hosting did you used to post your picture? Thanks! Own web site :-) most use photobucket??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
