Let's go for next Saturday. I will be in NY the weekend after and after that I will need to find time to get my tail lights painted.

You guys gotta keep me posted on this, actually I'd like to watch, Im a little skeptical of it all, so please keep me posted, especially if yall meet up. thanks

Looks like we will be doing it Saturday morning. I know you usually work then, but if we are still there by the time you get home I can let you know. Just PM me your number.

Here's some more reading and pics of the stuff in action.

This guy actually did his entire G35 in plasti dip and rode around in it for a while before peeling it off.

Masa / SolidKatfish anyway I can get to use your shop for doing this or the entire car ?

Thanks,

I'm not sure yet. I will have to work something out with Ron (Masa) and then let you know.

hazzazi · 07-18-2011, 01:22 AM

Actually, if you guys dont mind (and i'm free on Saturday) i would like to come watch/help to see the results, if you guys don't mind..

Shahid keep me posted please.

No problem man! PM me your number as well so I can get in touch with you easily. It looks like we will be having a mini-meet at Ron's house

So Ron, what time do you think we should start. I'm thinking like 9-10 AM would be good.

I'm going to go to Lowe's to get a can of plasti dip and a can of clear coat and try to experiment to see if it will work.

Thanks,

I wouldn't mind working this out with you but don't know if the whole car can be done unless you come really early. The shop doesn't have the best ventilation as me and Masa experienced that day.

Depending on the weather when I get out of work today I might try my luck on the rear valance. I will post pics.

The hardest part is trying to figure out how to leave the paint with a clean cut edge. When you start pulling the painters tape off it likes to take the paint with. I have a few ideas that I'm going to look into.

9am sounds fine to me. Solid Katfish is gonna try his hand at it later today using a putty knife instead of me using an xatco knife, see if it makes the cutting a little easier.
