Plasti Dipped Wheels/Grill/Emblems on my C55

This past weekend prior to running in the WannaGoFast Half mile event I had my wheels/grill and emblem plasti dipped by a good friend of mine.

Here are the results!

Looks very good! I acutally did the same last weekend on my C32.

I did it in PHX in a 110F, had trouble having te stuff to dry. Im not really satisfied with how well and strong the stuff is, it comes of relatively too easily for me. Or its just the temperature here... I did a proper cleaning and prepping of all the wheels washing and using aceton before painting.

Will probably use may spraygun and aircompressor next time, because love the black on silver look

Thanks, as soon as I saw the Eurocharged sticker I knew you were a fellow enthusiast. That thing sounded nasty when you got on it, pure music!

Did you hear my car misfiring and go into limp mode when we were turning onto Indy Blvd. lol, I have to get it figured out asap it's annoying, sometimes it does it and sometimes it pulls like it should.

I live in East Chicago (the hood) I am trying to sell my house and go further south to St. John but I am stuck until it sells or I might just rent it out.

Do you ever go to US41 dragway?

I appreciate the kind words, I do love the sound of that 5.4 screaming as well

I actually didnt notice it go into limp mode, after the turn we both kind of just coasted til you took a right. Is it tuned? Why did it kick into limp so quick?

I'm originally from Whiting so I feel your pain, come on south my friend haha

The only drag I've ever done was a 1/2 mile drag race event last month in Beecher, IL at the Bult Airfield. There weren't any times involved just top speeds (136 MPH). I have been wanting to go to the US41 strip though for a long time!!
