Northern Virginia Roll Call

That is plastidip black with the gunmetal grey metallizer. I did 3 coats of each. I ran just the black for about 2 years and it was cool but this turned out great man I highly recommend it. 2 cans of black and 2 cans of metalizer should do it . Now I really want to get gunmetal SCS rims or burnt bronze!

 

I want different wheels too but 4 cans of plastidip are way more friendly to my budget right now!

Now I need to work on my spray painting abilities because they need to improve significantly before I attempt wheels... I have always been bad at it haha

 

bronze all day.

 

It was easy man I left the wheels on and just covered brakes and rotors with plastic grocery bags. Grabbed a cold beer in one hand and plastidip in other and started on one rim and went around doing light coats. Make sure it is above 60 for best results. once I got done with all 4 wheels I finished beer grabbed another and started on first wheel again. did this about 3-4 times for base black coat and then another 3x for metalizer until it was where I wanted it. Stupid easy man the plastidip is so easy to work with honestly. plus if you don't like it wait for it to dry and peel off and start over.

 

man I know I love the SCS wheels it is just choosing which one eventually. But not until all my other functional mods are complete. which could also be never lmao!

 

sounds like an easy way to drink 4 beers

 

SCS F5 in bronze

 

yes......

 

another way to help your "peel" is to put notecards between the tire and rim

but on places that actually see rocks or rock chips (grill, wheels, etc...) I am not a fan of Plastidipping. I need to pull my grill off and repaint it already due to rock chips... this time, I am just going to go with something permanent.

i agree.... I'm more of a functional mods first kind of guy.... I'll likely never get around to "visuals" haha

^ this.

 

@Chux
Still loving your setup man! How are the new set of coopers treating you? Are you still running 32 psi with shell and all?

 

I would definitely be down for some beach wheeling and camping I miss the water!

 

Thanx. Ive always liked a stiffer tire, I ran my 255s at 40 psi. Im running my 34s now at 38psi. Was just down in Va. running the forestry roads at 20psi.

 

Thanks man I will try that out!

 

Any 3rd gens need any of this. It's all going to the dump if not. I have stock uca's as well

 

You/I can sell that tow hook. Also, what are you doing with that shelf in the lower right corner of the last picture?

 

You can have them. I need to clean everything out. they aren't very long though. one is like 3ft and the other is like 2 1/2

 

ok. just kidding around with that shelf.. but Ill take the tow hook and bolts. If I get anything from it, Ill split the profits with you!

 

Just buy me a beer sometime!

 

You could sell the ucas easily too. Rest of the stuff is probably too bulky even for the free stuff thread. Someone local may want the leafs if you post on craigslist for free though

 

I need a tow hook!
