Didn't get to put my emblems on. Cause I was gonna redo them .. And I broke my plasti dip. -_-

If it is the nozzle that is broken, try pulling it off and setting it in rubbing alcohol. This will clear up the nozzle, and moving forward, make sure after use that you turn the paint can upside down and spray until the stream becomes clear.

I've noticed that my first can was all "splattery" making a textured pattern, not sure why. Returned it and got two other cans from another hardware store and those seem to be spraying much finer/smoother.

Im tryin buy gunmetal color for plastidip but cant seem to find it in stores. Is there any stores that actually carry them or just online? Anyone?

Yeah, seems stores only have the regular black. For some reason, my local hardware store had the clear. Another option is just going with the black as a "primer" and painting over that with some regular gun metal paint. I'd do a test panel first to see if it looks ok and if it peels easily

pro tip: clear coat on plastidip does not work, it just breaks into tiny pieces and is a PITA when you try to take it off.

Yeaahh my local ace hardware has the red white black n clear. But no gunmetal :/

hmmn i might have to try gunmetal next on my wheels when the black starts to come off. The black cans I got at Home Depot were a little splattery but in the end it gave a nice texture to my wheels.

So I've got tomorrow off ... anyone want to meet up for a mini meet and drive around lunchtime? Or we could go to Quyen cafe like we been talking about before.

How do you guys feel about waring a suit without a tie at all?

I've got my cousins wedding this weekend in Vegas and I don't have a tie that matches the shirt I want to ware.
