The inventory is just hidden or disabled until they get back from holiday. They still exist but inventory will be 0 until then.

Although they seem to go to the extreme with taking down the main site as well. Good thing my lip kit arrived today, hope i have no issues with it.

1. Wash the body kit and dry it with something that leaves no fibers behind. (If you have compressed air, that works best).
2. Sand it with 300 grit sandpaper, for matte painting the surface doesn't have to 100% perfectly smooth.
3. Wash the body kit again, dry it and do a IPA wipe down.
4. Apply an adhesion promoter to the body kit.
5. Get some matte black spray paint and paint the color layers from light sprays to heavier sprays, with 15-20 mins between each layer. The technique is to progressively do more as the layers builds up. I would suggest at least 5 and probably good withe max of 10 coats.
6. Take your time! Seriously, there is no hurry even if your life is depended on getting the body kit painted...
7. After you feel like you got enough paint layers on there, nice and even, then apply a matte sealer to seal the whole deal up. Waterproofing it and protecting the all the hard work you put in.
8. If you can, it is best to leave the body kits to cure over a course of at least 24hrs before any polishing or removal of paint.
I just alcohol wiped it down and then spray painted. loll

Sanding it and priming it will help the matt paint stick better to the plastic. But if it works out for you, then gg my man!

Yes they do sell them separately, I think just under $15ea, but shipping to Canada is retarded at another $12 - $15


Here's it is here...

As we mentioned in the early posts, BaysonR's team won't be back until Mar 13, 2014. But you can always buy it from another seller, I assume they are from the same supplier anyways.
