Rubber shadowline paint

[Naplm00]

I picked up 2 cans of red at lowes near me to repaint my peeling Bav auto springs

they were on sale for 1.49 a can

I wonder if I can open up the cans and dump some of this straight into my paint gun... hmmm.

I'll give it a try and post pics tomorrow.

It comes in just a regular can, before it ever came in spray cans. I think it's made so you can put it in paint guns.

maybe I can make temporary graphics for my dirt bike?I just got abut 6 inches of snow so I can't do anything outside.:(

Hey Schwarz, they sell them in a can (liquid) already, not just aerosol.

As far as painting on the paint, Duplicolor makes a spray paint meant for temporary application. See here:

Might be better/easier then the Plasti-dip. They even have stencils you can print out off their website.

Brent, go back and look at the pics I posted, specifically the ones of the side window rear corners. That little body-colored fin/vent behind the window trim? I didn't even mask it. I just peeled the overspray off once it dried. Looks fine.

I'm not necessarily knocking you, I just see this attaining "fuhraze" status fairly quickly.

(that said, I am contemplating Hartge stripes with this material. Does it fuck up 1-stage paint any when you remove it?)

[Jand3rson]

And in 30 seconds, I peeled them off in one piece. Took a razorblade to the overspray, and it's like they were never there.

...

I foresee a future where the spraypainted autoX number is the next drop&iS lip.

I don't get why there has to be negativity about it, but whatever.

Besides, half the "drop & iS lip" crowd would never actually put their money where they mouths are and race their cars, anyway.

Ok, I got impatient and had to try it. This will actually work really well on glass. This was using black, but it looks pretty good:



Obviously there's some overspray, but that's just because my stencil wasn't super tight against the glass. I think a few little pieces of regular double-side scotch tape will fix that. I'm going to go see if they have some white tomorrow and try that, and try getting the stencil a little flatter against the glass.

Seems like an awesome way to do something a little different for numbers. Then they aren't on the body, and look better than shoe polish on the glass.

There are guys that autocross around here in pretty fast cars that lose their magnetic number all the time.

I'm going to try doing it tomorrow on my side window glass, just to see how it comes out. I'll get pics. Here's the stencil I just made:

[MexicanDragon]

why not just use the tested and true magnetic numbers?

It's all part of the reason I'm genius, guibo. :)

Don't really come across this problem with autocrossing, as the speeds are almost always lower than the speed limit on the interstate (even for the faster cars), but say you're doing a track day or some even where your cars are numbered on-car. Magnetic numbers work great at lower speeds, but once you start hitting, we'll say, 100 or so out on a track, the magnets tend to fly off. I'm thinking that this won't, but I haven't messed with it yet. I have 3 cans sitting in a bag, a pack of razors, and some free time scheduled tomorrow. No stencils, though, and Lowe's only had black (but they had 7 cans of it).

I really think it'd be fun to be out at an event and be out there "spraypainting" numbers on my DD. ;)
