Rexspeed windy things finally arrived, they must be manufactured with a gold core, I cannot otherwise rationalize the price.
ZL1 rock gaurds installed for my stance boi 18mm/20mm spacers. Also did a Motorsports Hardware stud conversion with their gunmetal lugs. Pleased with the look while I’m...
If you have an air compressor, blow it out with a blow gun. Surprised nobody mentioned this, I haven’t poked around with a mirror and a magnet in years. A blow gun with a long wand works really well as you can stick it deep into whatever unholy crevice your hardware fell into. 5 bucks at any...
Got bored on Saturday and needed to stay busy for my sobriety’s sake, so I painted my Supra badge. I think it turned out great, but please tell me you hate it and an overlay would have saved me time.
photos of the process if anybody is interested, took about 1 hour. Vht plastic paint laid...
Very happy with the results, apologies for my filthy car. The badges were tinted with headlight film. Installer looked at me like I was crazy when I asked about it, but I think it turned out great and he didn’t even charge me ?. Was nervous about 50% windshield as I’ve never had a tinted...
Thanks, I got 2/3! car is in the shop as of this morning for ceramic tint all around and my rexspeed windy things are in the mail! I think I’ll powder coat the stock wheels this winter and go back on with some decent 275/305 NT555 or similar. Tire suggestions for street with occasional drag...
Just dropped off for nano ceramic tint! 35% all around, 50% windshield, and smoke film experiment on the Toyota badges ?. Will post after pics this evening.
The benefit of tinting them with vht is you can go as light or dark with them as you want. Mine are black in the day but still visible at night with headlights on them, just much more subdued
Agreed. I was blessed with a perfectly calm day and holding the can 6-8 inches while spraying prevented any overspray. Having a rag dampened with mineral spirits at the ready just in case is also a good idea
I contemplated it, but decided I’d rather spend a little time taping vs. Getting the heat gun out. Definitely an option though for more cautious painters.
I wouldn’t say It was a courageous act ?, but I truly was not worried about that. I masked off a pretty large area, anyways the entire car is ppf wrapped. In the event I did overspray, it would clean off with some elbow grease. From my experience, this particular VHT product doesn’t adhere very...
Do it in a garage if there is even a slight breeze outside.
Clean the lens and surrounding area with a good no residue glass cleaner before masking
Mask with 3m vinyl pinstriping tape or similar
Spray 1 or 2 very light coats, then spray medium coats until it’s tinted to your liking (I did 6...
