Ruff finish makes the paint stick better

 

My shit harbor freight drill only has a battery life of 20 mins too....

 

3 hour charge time lol. Hopefully borrow a nicer one this weekend.

 

Pneumatic >>>>

 

Yeah. My buddy is an RV tech, he said I can probably hop into their shop on Sat and grind it out for a few hours.

 

So don't undercoat it? How thorough did you paint it

Under coat bad very bad!

 

Id be surprised if you could find one that can do it. That stuff doesnt like to come off easily. And the one I took my wheels too said even plastidip would clog their system up. Probably gonna need to go to a chemical stripping place

 

I used 3 cans.

 

I mean...I'm all for citizens standing up to local governments abusing power (parking violations are a huge one out here, so freaking ridiculous) but...tire chalk? Really?

I don't see how this really changes anything, just draw a line around their tire or something instead.

Plus I don't think they've used the chalk method in CA for a few years or more. Parking ticket prices and the system in general is BS though. In LA if you get one they are $70 minimum, that's nuts. That and how some areas are more or less set up as parking ticket traps.

I'm glad we moved to a smaller corner of LA where there are next to no parking restrictions, the only one we have in our town is for street cleaning every Thurs/Fri depending on which side you're on.

When I lived up in Santa Barbara for school several years ago, I was getting them left and right. School was in the city and all parking was very limited, metered, expensive and I was in class for hours at a time. I remember I was furious about one so I stapled my envelope with my parking ticket/check in it with like 100 staples lol, surprisingly they still cashed it.

 

There are still a few cities up here that do it. You can see the parking enforcement ofc drive by in their little tuk-tuk

btw, before i forget ---

broke out the rattle can this morning

 

Looks clean...are you putting yours back on?

 

Ahhh a little spring TLC. I need to do that.

 

undecided. honestly, youll hit mud way before i do and i think we are entering our summer weather pattern now. mid to high 80s for the last 2 days.

 

yeah I will probably go back to flares personally...I like the flareless look with the plugs but with how far the tires stick out from the fenders it's not going to be pretty in the dirt. I'll probably find that out this weekend. Probably just pull the trigger on some Bushwhackers since my oem flares aren't in good condition.

 

wont it 'peel' off more than just the bedliner coat?

 

I would try acetone first

 

its undercoating on a steel rack

 

Lots and lots of Goo Gone? lol...

Try acetone and some really gritty sandpaper
