I am posting some pics i took today of the plasti dip so you can take a look.

Hey I totally realized I responded to your ? on my own wall....the Plasti Dip is holding up great. There are no peeling issues or anything...Ill try to get some picks up at some point soon

Awesome man, thanks for letting me know!

Normally runs anywhere from $60 to $100 per rim.

Tried to upgrade what?....

Hey!

I chose it because....its more fun (working with natural materials), the average pay is better, there are way more job opportunities, the competition isnt there (we're a community, not fighting for each others jobs), and many more reasons.

If you hae any questions, shoot me a PM and I'd be happy to talk it over. I love my major, and I love what I'm doing right now!

I painted the mirrors on my Hayabusa, not the car, but they were same material (wrinkle bumpy black plastic). I sand them down, removing the molding seam, then the exterior to get rid of the bumpy texture. Prep with plastic adhesion promoter, couple coats of sandable primer, then 3+ coats same color-match paint (Nebular Black in that case). Wet sanded with 1000g very little bit, dried and shot 4 coats of clear. Wet sanded with 1000g, 1500g then 2000g, followed by a healthy polishing with a power ball and polishing liquid. Worked wonderfully. Hope this helps.

I actually used a program called 3D Ripper DX to get the model out of the game L.A. Rush. It is a super low poly version of the car, and when I am done there will be very little left of the original model.

Here is the magnum the way it was after ripping it out of the game: www.thequicklife.com/magnum.3ds

You'll of course need a 3d editing program to use it.
