Might try wheels at some point too. Would wheels take a long time to do? If not, we could do those on Saturday too.

We may not have enough time for the wheels. I did just check the forecast for Sat. and it looks like we should be good for the morning - scattered storms aren't due until the afternoon. I also don't have enough jack stands at the moment to get my whole car up (only have 2 + my hydraulic jack) so I need to borrow my friend's other two so I can just do all four of my wheels at the same time instead of one side at a time lol.

Here's a couple shots of Kenny's (Solid Katfish) fangs and rear valence he did with plasti dip:

Does anyone know where to buy the white and red plastic dip spray? I checked a homedepot and lowes, they only offer it in matted black

Might be able to find it online. I know I saw them on Amazon.

Also, I think I will only do the roof tomorrow morning. How many cans of plasti dip and clear will be good for the roof?

I would say two cans should be ok, if we need anymore I do have a couple spare cans myself we can use as well as some duplicolor clearcoat. :tup:

Ok sounds good. I have like half a can of plasti dip and most of a can of clear at home. Looks like I will just need to get one more can of plasti dip and I should be good.

I hope it looks good because it's going to be a PITA to take off with the clear coat.

i would try it on my wheels just for fun but i wonder if its gonna leave the inner barrels all dirty with particles of plastic from the spray

Ok I've got my car washed and my roof waxed. I may be there closer to 10 am depending on what time I get back from this wedding. I also have to go to work at 2 am for like an hour :(

Roof will be really easy to do, fangs will take the most part masking off.
If you guys want to see the video of me peeling it off, PM me your email and I can forward it to you, it is in .MOV format.

I'd like to see it, email it to me, eastwest2300@yahoo.com

Im still very hesitant about this stuff..

Hey Ron, it looks like I will be there closer to 10 am than 9 am. Just got home from work so I'm trying to get a little more sleep, lol.
