Probably doesn't matter on vehicles like this.

I have to admit, I'm envious. This should let you drive along sage brush without a care in the world.

I got the grill fixed today. They forgot exactly how I had asked them to do it so they fixed it today and they also got a few QC issues straightened out. She's all done now.

I left my Van overnight in a very bad area of Oakland last month. I shoulda known better but I'm just happy they didn't slash my tires or break any windows.

Whaaaaaa da Fuuuuu...??? Where do you live? I could recommend the shop that did it for me. They are down in the greater LA area. I would also check with other places, I shopped around but nobody quoted me more than $4500.

I'm in Denver... Ya I laughed at the guy thinking he was joking, then felt bad because he was serious. Said he just did an S10 for $6k.

I also called two places that do Plastidip, one said he charge me $850 and the other was $1750.

I like Plasti-dip, I plasti-dipped quite a few parts on my Van and think I might do a couple of the black Trim Pieces in Plasti-dip. However my one reservation about it is you can't cut lines or two-tone with it very well, and unless you layer and layer coat after coat onto itself, it's hard to take off. Meaning if it isn't thick layered, it isn't strong enough to come off in one continuous piece. It ends up being lots of tiny tiny pieces which end up taking forever to take off and look terrible in the process. Also the area around the doors ended up peeling from legs brushing against it when getting in and out of the Van and the area around my gas cap started to peel/fade because of the fumes and occasional spillage. But that was really to be expected.

Other than that I think it's a great product and I'm sure a professional shop that applies the stuff for a living would know how to do it better than myself who was more DIY kinda guy.

I think I recall Spoolin selling his rig.
