i would paint it right now.. but takin dat ring off is a bittttttttttttttaaach! lol

 

All it needs now is a sicko drop!

 

Agreed! Gonna black out the window trim this week and hopefully tint later this month. Wheels and a drop will come in the next few months...

I'm debating between black or bronze (gold) wheels. I think the bronze would look pretty sweet...I threw something together:

Thoughts?

 

the bronze looks pretty bad ***

 

i like the black man... and def... i gotta black out my ring.... looks badass like that

 

that does look good,im gonna go buy a can today

 

anyone live in so cal that want to help me do it

 

Did you sand or prep the trim's surface before spraying? I just did about 40 tools at my work (had to color code the new tool set for my department it sucked) and I noticed a huge handling difference when I roughed up some of the surface before painting... So far every 1/5 that I didn't prep started to chip/peel away (since its just a rubber coating) whereas the prepped ones are still holding strong. Also when this stuff chips, don't peel it.. it litterally peels like rubber cement glue and you'll wind up with a bigger hole than before... I think a flatblack paint might have been a better choice IMO but the plastidip is definitely a creative idea. I wouldn't mind doing my shift knob in that stuff someday.

 

After I took the ring off, I just cleaned it really well (I used windex and water), taking care not to get oil from my fingers on the surface. After that, I did 4 coats, 30 minutes apart, then let it dry 4 hours before reassembling it.

I guess my thinking is that it's on the front of the car and it's GOING to get chipped, so I want to be able to easily pull it off if I need to respray it at some point.

 

looks awesome, really cleans out the lines of the front and makes it a little less cluttered.

bronze wheels are where its at IMO

 

i got matte bronze (non-shiny) Work XD-9's rims
I think it goes well with RG

thanks for the diy, i havebeen looking to do this for quite some time
