Pepboys would likely be shit quality... oracal is professional made in cali

[AbsorbantNut]

Yeah I know. Either way Ora cal would be a cheap way to do it. Get like 6 feet for $15 shipped, cut roll in half and you are golden

Im pretty sure pep boys sells the stuff too, but closer to trim sizes, so not as much cutting, but I guess it is better to have more than less.

And no need to do 2 consecutive posts when you can edit

Vinyl wrap is not a bad idea, use some oracal like this

Well what tard on this forum took their trim and wiper arms to a shop for paint?

Anybody?

Some have powder coated and you can spray with with a grav. fed gun too, which is what I'm going to do. And you dont need to take it to a shop if you can do it yourself:p What Ive been curious about is wrapping them though

Either way you slice it, it's still a rattle can job ;)

Well rest of the forum says it. Shit, Ill just trust my gut and use the SEM

[IronJoe]

Where are you getting that info from? Just curious, I hadn't heard anything about that.


I tried the Duplicolor trim paint and I was unimpressed. That's why I ponied up for the Wurth stuff for my euro grilles.

Joe, but that was paint from 4 years ago. Apparently the formula has changed?

[IronJoe]

I used SEM bumper paint on my SPG. It has held up great for going on 4 years now.

Meh. Soft touch tip's on the Dupli Colors are fantastic.
