Reba got a new look. :)
 

Over the weekend the weather was incredible, so I did some cosmetic "upgrades" to Reba. Plasti-Dipped the grill trim just to see if I liked it in black. Not only do I like it in black, I like the way the Plasti-Dip matches the rubber trim. I also painted my front calipers. The rears well be done next weekend.

I like both of those mods !! Good choices and well done. :thumbsup:

I hate those wheels. :nod: :razz: :lol: Not only are they dirty (shame, shame, posting a pic of brake-dusty wheels), but we have those wheels on the PW MINI and the bridge-spokes SUCK. PITA to clean and they seem to chip very easily. :mad: Might have to get my S.O. a set of aftermarket wheels for her birthday instead of that expensive purse she wants. :lol:

Back on topic... did you use the G2 kit ? Their red matches CR very well. :nod:

I have been thinking about buying painted front grille trim pieces, plastic dip seems like a good solution (at least short term). My question is, how easy is it to apply. I suck when it comes to painting....

But what you did looks great! :thumbsup:

Thanks guys!


I know, I know, I should have cleaned the wheels :roll: :). I'm not a huge fan of the bridge spokes either, but I'm using them for winter wheels/tires. They already have quite a few scratches. I'm planning on painting them black when I put the Team Dynamics back on here in a few weeks.

I went to O'Reilly's and picked up a Duplicolor brush kit. I know the guys over there pretty well, and they said it was good stuff as long as I followed the directions religiously.

And I agree, wheels are much better than purses. She has enough purses, don't you think? :wink:

I was looking for a temporary solution too, but I think I'm going to see how the Plasti-Dip holds up. I really like it.

It's very easy to apply. You can get a rattle can of it at your local Home Depot (or Lowes, too, I would imagine) for about $5. Just follow the directions, take your time, and be sure to get two cans for multiple coats. :thumbsup:

:lol: Messin' with you on the dirty wheels. And using them for winter tires is a smart move. :nod:

Yeah, Duplicolor has a good caliper paint kit too, from what I've read around here.

Ohhhhhhhhhh boy, if you only knew just how many purses and bags she has, you'd be like... :eek: :eek: :eek2: :eek: :eek:

:lol:

BTW, here's one of her bags:

^^That bag is awesome! I wish I could talk my fiancé into one of those. :lol:

Reba definitely got some 'tude.

Nice! :thumbsup:

Well done.

Thanks guys!
