Sorry man.


Not sure I follow what you're asking about heating something up and pulling something off..

My spare wheels were stripped , blasted, & powder coated.
The caps were just scuffed and painted.
On the wheels I have there is what looks like a piece of chromed tin glued? onto the rim, the "make it look good" piece. I want to strip this off, but haven't had time to look. I thought you had done that, and was asking. I can see it isn't there because of the shot that shows the stud holes... You can see there isn't that piece on it. I'll try to take a picture...

Nope!! It's Plasti Dip!!
Completely removable if you don't like it.

Thank you Sir!

Yeah the blacked out aftermarket head light will complete the look.

Seems like it should hold up pretty well.
Lots of vids on youtube.
If it get hit or nicked I suppose it'll need touching up or redone, but Far cheaper option than anything else out there.

Went to an 1/8 mile track tonight..

Few vids to post...

Here's Rick in Garmons's 6.7.
Still trying to figure things out on it.
It's probably going to need to be back half'd to get any traction.

He spun the whole 1/8 mile.. You can here it.. lol
And the slicks are brand new..

Best was a 7.4x @ 96.xx Spinning!!

I pressure washed it last night on the way to the house.
I just didn't spray right up on it. 8-10 inches away at most.
Worked just fine!!
Lots of vids on YT of people spraying it also..
It's really cool stuff.

Be careful with bugs. Some of the bigger ones will eat away at the plastidip if left on there too long.
