wow came out really good!

FYI: dont let anyone pump your gas, cause they overfill your gas tank drip gasoline on your rim and it washes the plasti dip away like nothing.

^ haha - in jersey we have to basically let ppl pump our gas but the one station i go to hasn't done that to me - if anything i was really glad that u found out the gas took it off so if i ever want to in the future i know i can. (2 of my boys want me to do their cars now too)

I'm still seriously considering doing this for my sister's A4 wheels... Not sure yet, but they seem to be coming out great!

Yes, I know this is a slight thread bump, but i'm going to be plasti-dipping my Huffs when I get a chance to as my Winter setup.

They're a little curbed (damn GF :angry, but this should help fix it up and everything.

Most likely i'll plasti-dip my front grille too, since I just picked up a holeless one :thumbsup:

I'll take pictures for everybody and i'll let everybody know how it turns out! :biggrin:
