I can explain it to you, I can't understand it for you.

He peeled it right off a few days later. Maybe good on some suspension components. Give it like a fake powder coat look.

It's 12 years old but turning a dirty brown. Pressure wash and apply? Maybe some degreaser? Any thoughts? I've got champaign taste and a pbr budget.

It's great and is very durable so far. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 568 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 568 | Wonder if I can do my whole truck? Not the chrome but the ugly multi colored body. I've got black, grey, orange and white spots now. Supposedly there is a kit for cars it's like $200

Thinking about it... I must have been bored as heck to do it in the first place (but it did look decent and held up well) | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 1,596 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 1,596 | Wonder if I can do my whole truck?
