Sorry all but I will be unable to attend this year. While I am off work for this, it will only be 7 days before my wedding and I still have so much to do. Best wishes, safe travels, and hoping for the best SMMM ever!

Critterman · « **Reply #232 on:** August 26, 2012, 02:41:20 PM »

Are you saying you would rather get married than stop by and see all yor buddies?

Congrats

Brad Kenny · « **Reply #233 on:** August 26, 2012, 02:47:27 PM »

Actually Critter, she told me to get the h... out and go. She has been with me since I bought Lindsey and knows how much I enjoy the MM, it is just not in the cards this year. (Spoken... she spent way too much money on the wedding... LOL)

I purchased 4 cans of plasti-dip to do my ghetto stocker wheels and probably other parts, door handles...maybe the windshield surround. Pictures of my poor stocker wheels to follow in the "What did I do to my Kappa" thread. Freakin' movers really screwed up the wheels. :/

I did mine recently. I thinned mine out with toluene so that I could spray it through my HVLP gun . . . and bought it in NON-aerosol form.

Jeremy ; Congrats to You and future Wife , haven't seen you typing for some time . You move from Conn. ?

TomatoSoup · « **Reply #240 on:** August 26, 2012, 07:41:00 PM »

Ahh, Jeremy, I was wondering why you wouldn't be the Stunner Lights flag-bearer!

Congratulations on the wedding and finding someone to ~~put up with you~~ spend your life with!

I already painted my aftermarket wheels with plastidip at DDM. Since the chrome is peeling off them under the plastidip, I decided not to put the new tires on them and put the stockers back on. But I see the freaking movers messed 2 of them up when they moved them.

Good thing the plastidip will cover them up!

Here is a pic of the old wheels in Asheville with the plastidip. Sorry it's far away, but it's about the only pic I have left.

I have plans for the aftermarket wheels. Wartie may have a place that can strip the chrome off them and redo them. But they will be black...either black chrome or powder coated.

Make sure you have a lot of blue tape and get a roll of painting paper ( the thin brown paper for house painting). I'll show you some good tricks ive learned.

ihawk95 · « **Reply #243 on:** August 27, 2012, 04:57:52 AM »

Index cards worked well last time for the wheels. If I can squish my jack in the car, I'll bring it so I'm not taking away from someone else who needs them.

I was planning to get tape. Paper will be another story. We'll see how ambitious I really get with this.

ihawk95 · « **Reply #244 on:** August 27, 2012, 06:19:55 AM »

I have tons of packing paper. That should work.

When I painted my jeep rims, I didn't even take them off the jeep
You guys are so Picky

Gentleman Jack · « **Reply #246 on:** August 27, 2012, 10:43:16 AM »

Little Elff hands and big jeep wheel wells make plasti dipping easy. I say we put ihawks wheels on Elffs jeep and then plasti dip them!

Hawk-i,

The paper isn't for the wheels. It's for everything else you want to do. Index cards work great for the wheels.

elff · « **Reply #247 on:** August 27, 2012, 10:48:38 AM »

Actually, with the tires on the jeep, one offroad trip removes all the paint off the tires due to the flexing
At the same time, rocks normally scrape off a lot of the paint, so I end up re-doing them a couple times a year.

Kelu · « **Reply #248 on:** August 27, 2012, 11:25:19 AM »

Picked up my new passport today, it has a chip, can we tune it with HP Tuners?

elff · « **Reply #249 on:** August 27, 2012, 11:29:51 AM »

Is it 1/4 or 1/2 bar
