Heal up well!

Believe me I will be so temped to want to try early. Eventhough I wouldnt be able to feel the clutch resistance from the pedal right now im pretty sure based of revs an experience i could still drive it fairly smooth. But im going to try my best to follow my doctors orders as my injury will still be quite fragile all through healing and i dont want to make it worse while trying to heal. I thought I broke an ankle which is fairly routine. I shattered my left heel bone in 5 places and they reconstructed it with 3 plates and 20 screws. Doc says no weight bearing on my left foot 3 months period. I had to cancel my bmw welt 4.0 trip. super bummed about that

It's plasti dip. Did it last weekend with 3 cans of plasti dip, some painters tape, newspaper/drop sheets and several hours of time over a long weekend.

I showed up to Welt 3.0 without a car and bummed rides with a few people.

You have no excuse!

that looks sweet. how did you get the line so crisp? Every time i try to do it the plast dip seems to stick to the tape and snags leaving an uneven line which i hate. I am looking to do this on my Zed4 but need crisp lines.

Thanks man!

Use painters tape. Make sure after it's laid down you smooth down all of the edges against the paint. Lay down the plasti dip layer by layer as normal but DO NOT let it dry. After the first light layer is done just immediately lay it on thick and fast. As soon as you think your coat is thick enough pull up the tape as soon as possible while the dip is still wet. The wetter it is the cleaner the lines.

Good luck!

^^ regarding plasti dip, You can lay the first coats on like normal and let them dry 15 mins between coats, but as soon as you finish the last coat, which is a little heavier than normal, you must remove the tape while it is still wet. Every time you spray on plasti dip onto existing plasti dip, the entire product becomes wet again and makes it easy to get crisp lines as long as you remove tape while it is still wet.

I believe it's time to show us a smokey burnout!

born_on_halloween · 04-07-2013, 11:20 PM

god love this paint job on this car

631twentyeighteye · 04-08-2013, 07:51 AM

Isn't it a 3 day rule? I'll post up a shot on wednesday if NOBODY with a tuned 135 wants to light up their tires for 5 seconds. Come on guys, i'm not asking for a d1gp smoke show, just a little visible smoke from a launch, burnout or even a little sideways action.
