Plasti-dip/Intercooler

Hey guys kinda random post but I should be plasti-dip"ing?" my chrome ring and chrome window trim tommorow, for those of you who did it how long did you have to wait for it to dry?


P.S.
Does anyone know if the ETS EvoX Intercooler Kit will work for my RA? I plan on doing the 4.0 any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think there was a RA with an anodized ETS intercooler. Not sure about the thickness though.

..........between coats i give about 20 minutes.

after you are finished with last coat.....

..you may need to wait a couple of hours before touching / re-installing parts.

I waited 30min after my last coat (4th). I was a little impatient...

Still turned out fine though, no smudges or anything on my front ring/window trim.

I tried to take off that ring w/o taking off the bumper... It's a *****... I'm gonna just take off the bumper tomorrow and get it done. So... Is there any thing in particular I should know before I start spraying? Any thing you guys f'd up on that you should tell me so I don't? Lol

Just wash the ring so its got a clean surface...not really that hard to mess up plasti-dip. Even if you do, just rub it off and do over.

Once you reinstall the ring, if you want to take the ring off w/o removing your bumper, just re-screw 4-6 of the screws - no need for all 10-12 screws.

That's a good idea, I think the only ones left are the side ones. Can't get to them no matter how hard I try it sucks.
