The way the pewter was done looks better than the white IMO, don't go all the way out with it. But it's up to you

Pics when done are required

After a fucken year of not doing anything and now that I have more time for myself (no more gf)I finally decided to do it! Just waiting to dry for final results! I used that plastidip stuff. Here goes nothing!

Sorry to those who waited for so long and never saw me do anything my apologies!

I will also paint my chrome c6z06 rims next week!

That looks slick! Great job on them. You should have put a bow on the wrapping paper And taken a pic. Haha

Thanks =D. XD I know lol, I couldn't find anything else, so I decided to use gift wrap paper lol. Well you know tho plastidip stuff is not permanent, I would use this instead of the vinyl. When you get bored of it all you got to do is rub it with your hand and pull it which will come right off. When I had bought the vinyl and tried to put it on myself, it was a hassle due to the fog pockets being rounded and the vinyl gets more wrinkled if you do not have a heat gun to stretch it out.

Well heres another pic, getting ready to put everything back!
