Yeah they looked silver before the tires were mounted but after we put them on his truck, they turned blue!

JohnC · 05-28-2009, 05:00 PM

They are a chameleon wheel!

That all depends on where he parks it!

What is his address again?

*TheSebring* · 05-29-2009, 02:33 PM

It's not a bad ole' truck for him either. I gotta start gathering up parts for him though. He's got several things going out on him.

Ok, got some new pics. My brother in law, blasted and painted my mirrors for me and put them back on the day before the meet. I installed the window tint yesterday. I sanded the hood today and cleaned up my wheels for the first time since I put them on

I need to paint my blower box under the dash. Anyone know what's the best paint to use? I thinik Krylon made a paint for plastic that didn't require any sanding but I don't remember for sure.

And who wants to help me prime and seal my hood?

joe231 · 06-01-2009, 10:43 PM

tint and hood look good!!!
you wanna tint mine?

Yeah I'll help ya. It's easier with two people anyway. Especially on the back window!

mikajo39 · 06-01-2009, 10:47 PM

what size tires are you running?

*highperf4x4* · 06-01-2009, 10:53 PM

Wheels are Cragar Nomad 2's
Tires are Cooper Cobras

Fronts are 15x8 with 255/60/15
Rears are 15x10 with 295/50/15

GMC406 · 06-02-2009, 12:25 AM

That tint looks great

What percent is that? I need to do mine but dont know if I want to tackle it myself.

*highperf4x4* · 06-02-2009, 12:34 AM

The tint is 18%. I bought it pre-cut from retro68 here on the board. He also has 5%.

My rear window came out a little short at the bottom though. I'd order it a little big next time and maybe trim the excess.

JohnC · 06-02-2009, 09:02 AM

Looks good man! It's amazing how tint can change the look of a truck. As for the plastic paint. Krylon Fusion is the paint for plastic, but with that piece where it is I think you could just sand it with some real fine sandpaper, and use regular spray paint. I think the results would be the same.

*highperf4x4* · 06-02-2009, 09:40 AM

Maybe, but I'm going to paint the whole thing. Not just the brown section. Probably the hardest part will be getting it all clean.

JohnC · 06-02-2009, 09:41 AM

If it were me I would shoot it with some satin black. That would look pretty slick.

*highperf4x4* · 06-02-2009, 10:12 AM

Yeah, I think I will.

JohnC · 06-02-2009, 10:53 AM

Good thing about paint is if you don't like it, you can always paint over it!

I've been on a satin black kick here latetly. Plan on getting busy on the engine bay with it.

GMC406 · 06-02-2009, 11:11 AM

Im partial to high gloss black myslef. Have used 6 cans between the engine bay and bumpers and accecories

I have been using Rustolium. I dont know how it works on plastic, but it is awesome on metal

*highperf4x4* · 06-02-2009, 01:45 PM

Yeah the rustoleum is awesome for metal. I don't know how it does on plastic. Actually I haven't painted much plastic material so I'm shootin blind.

I can't seem to stop myself on this truck. I went down to Palace to look for some primer sealer in a spray can and I came out with 160.00 worth of paint gun and materials...................

Who's got a spot for me to shoot my paint in?

JohnC · 06-02-2009, 02:00 PM

Dang man you need to come shop at my store if you shop like that!

I was reading on that gas tank stuff you got me, and it expired on 05/03/09. Think it's still good or too far out of date?
