Middle of the night is no time to be gardening....

I always aim to end up in some hedge by the end of the night but that's not what I had in mind...

Don't worry, I'll be here all night. Bad joke Zach here to save the day.

Anyone else notice that there's another Z wrecked every day? Makes me sad. Story duckeee?

Here's the better way to do it. Take off the dang wheel, then spray both sides evenly so that it comes out nicer instead of trying to struggle to reach the inside.

Edit: Plastidipped wheels look cheap. Sorry.

mine look great

all depends on how well you do

and yes even though a lot of people just bag the discs, taking the wheels off is ten times better in every way, and is what I did

You don't have to.
Just wrap the brake pads and calipers and you're good to go.


Well, it was looking bad because I just took the picture after spraying it... Reason why there's that Glossy Effect..

Here's a picture when the car was dry:

Moussa, plasti dip the emblems and door handles so it will at least match the rest of the car. I have plasti dip on my handles and emblems, but I'm not a hypocrite lol, I just dont like plasti dipped wheels at all. I only had it on my car to see how the emblems and door handle would look before i actually get them painted with a real gloss black.
