Default A few bright.....errr dark...things to come

Decided to take car of my silly chrome business and invest in some serious stock of the color black.

Here is just a few snapshots of the super fun time Doug and I had....NOT






















Ill show the day pics once I get my grills back on and there is some light. Couldnt have done this without Doug hes the best.

That should look good.

Did you deflate the tires first?

Naw, just left them as is. Just made sure the tape went deep into the side wall, best you could.

Sorry to say the plastics turned out like trash, but the wheels do look pretty beast.

Man your car was beautiful the way it was!

The wheels will be pretty sick but, IMO you should have left the rest. Now we just need

try this, for the plastic pieces...just trust me, flat black wheel paint at kragens or autozone, and as clearcoat, use the "500 degree engine enamel" ....plastic will look brand spankin new with a smooth gloss to it, all it takes is 3 layers of paint and 3 layers of clearcoat, not shiny enough?...put 2-3 more layers of that enamel!
