Its a vinyl sticker, so that should work just fine as long as the clay bar takes off the goop just fine. If it doesn't then you'll have to use goo gone or peanut butter (if you don't have goo gone etc).

And thanks, I always liked it too, I just need to get the wheels on the Porsche done...

You gotta post more/***** if you want your count to go up! (It looks like its already 725 instead). Spend all day at work looking at EvoM, it'll go up super fast.

I think I might wash my car today too Josh.

Yeah Josh, your paint should be fine. Goo-Gone is what I drink, er, I mean use to get teh left on gloo off. It worked so super duper giggity giggity goood on my pin stripes and emblems. Never tried peanut butter, but Jake is the beez kneez, so I believe EVERYTHING he says!

Oh and I might be getting a water/methanol injection kit before I get my tune, It's gonna be wicked-cool!

The proteins and peanut oil disolve the sticky stuff but not the paint. Not as good as goo gone, but if you don't have goo gone its a cheap alternative. But I am the beez kneez.

And that's tizight. Are you gonna be ready by the 12th? I should have my wheels done by then, I'm still waiting for Jason (PMP) to get back to me though while I check other places/prices.

Kwins wheels painted- AF collision in American Fork. They did 3 sets for Kwin, 1 Set for Adam Munoa, 1 For me and I think some other people. $200 to $350 for a full set painted. Mine are gold too.
My shop does window tinting and are guy does a pretty good job. He has been doing it for over 10 years. The whole car is about $150 for all 5 window. Send me a Pm if you need it done.

How long would you estimate the tinting would take?

I bet you do! Thanks for updating the list. I'm a happy chappy now!


Oh and Josh, yeah I do have a buddy that does windows too. But Dallins shop is probably closer. My guy is in Layton.

Which is better, painting or powder coating?

My car is all shiney after an hour and half of washing... Wash, clay bar, tar remover (which didn't remove hardly half the road construction crap... stupid white car in Utah), dry, inside with armor all leather treatment, and soon to come some window washing...

Speaking of "proteins" the armor all leather treatment stuff looked very much like a particular kind of protein... It was really funny squirting it all over the Porsche seats, I should've taken a picture.

If I remember correctly he hooked me up for 130-ish. Plus I'm fairly certain he'd go as dark as you'd like. He was going to double limo mine for me, but -12% is a little hard to see out at night.

How'd the sticker removal go? Pics?!
