Also a word of advice on the LED pods from JWmotoring. The 3M sticky tape on the back of the pods is not sufficient to hold on the map light assemblies. The glue on the stickers melts almost instantly. Went out and bought some loctite "extreme temperature" gel and used a dab on each which seems to be holding so far.

I got mine from walmart out in Laurel, which that walmart has EVERYTHING...its fricken awesome.

Are you sure it's "semi gloss" ? - my 3 choices appear to be glossy, satin, and flat (I'm assuming satin is the correct flavor)

I went with the satin black..

I saw it in person at Walmart, so you can check that out.

Yes it's Satin. I have no idea why EW kept calling it semi gloss :shakes head:

Because someone else on here said it was semi gloss black..

I've only said like 50 times that it was Satin black :icon17:

well it wasnt you that said it was semi gloss...:bowrofl:

Maybe that's why you refused to listen to me. Couldn't differentiate my trolling from me being serious :roflpuke2:

EW: Some guy said it was semi gloss black. Blades keeps saying it's satin black, so it's probably not satin black......must be semi gloss black!

I would love to fish through the past 50 something pages of posts to find the person that said semi gloss black, BUT, no thanks... we'll just go with you saying satin black all along.:tup:

EXACTLY!!!:roflpuke2::roflpuke2:

Well regardless, I'm gonna swing by walmart and pick up 2 oven mitts and paint today. That should be all I need other than food and booze.

I have only one oven mitt...

Good we'll have a spare then.

I think we do need to send out PMs to see who all is coming.. I think its a good idea.

Go for it.

I'll do it tonight, while, im at work.

Is the address listed on the first page of this thread yours Eastwest2300 (or Dee)?
I will be attending to this.

Yup its my address, i look forward to meeting you..:tup:

Hey can you grab me two cans of that Krylon satin paint? I have been to:
-Home Depot (doesn't carry Krylon)
-Lowes (Same)
-Walmart (looked like a ******* bomb had gone off in their paint section)
-Michael's (no dice)
-Advance Auto Parts (only had glossy)
-Pep Boys (no dice).


I'll pay you cash for them if you can pick me up two cans otherwise, I'm going to have to keep hunting.

I did get two awesome 98 cent oven mitts at walmart though.

Ahh dude, I dont see myself going up that way anytime soon, :ugh2: shoot. Go to the walmart up in Germantown, they carry a whole bunch of stuff, they should have it. Its $4.30 per can. Its pretty self explanatory, everything's labeled, take your time, you'll find what you're looking for. Thats what I did.

Yes the walmart in Germantown (where I live) was where I just was. It looks like a bomb went off in it. Nothing is organized and they had a few cans of krylon fusion, but no satin black. No gloss black either.

Is there another higher-end paint option that will work just as well? I have no problem paying more than $4 per can.

I'm gonna try a few more places but if I can't find paint, I guess I'll have to tap out :/

I wouldnt go with anything outside of what the DIY says.. thats just me, I wouldnt chance that. What I'll do is, I'll find it for you on walmart.com, send you the link, you pay for it online, and the store will have it for you when you go to pick it up at the store.

Don't think there's enough time between now and Saturday for that unfortunately.

Well I just did that, and unfortunately you cant pay for it online, but the store does have it in stock. Soooo I im not sure.

What store? Flat out guarantee Germantown does not have it. I was just there.

I use to work at best buy, and im pretty sure its the same, if you bought something online, to come pick it up, the warehouse employees pull it off the shelf and bring it to customer service within minutes.

Right. It's not in Germantown and I've had bad experiences with that particular walmart (it's a warzone). They pull from shelves not in the back. I spoke with a manager today who told me they don't have anything other than what is on the shelves.

Like I said, I'll try a couple places tomorrow but if I can't find it, I'm out I guess.

Ok, you gotta do what you gotta do, if you can find it, great..if not... it sucks.

Dunno what else to tell you. I had no idea it would be this hard to find.

They have a bunch of them at the Walmart across the street from my house. It's the Walmart super center in Severn.

Again, I will pay whoever cash if you pick me up two cans of it. Hell, I'll give you a 10 and you can keep the change. I live in Germantown and my options are limited.

I can try to get into Rockville/Kensington over the next few days but it'd make my life a hell of a lot easier if someone is able to run next door and just pick me up a couple cans.

I'm bringing food/beer/heat gun/oven mitts/butyl sealant, flathead screwdriver and my dog.

I could get it for you, but I'm not sure if I'm gonna be there. If I do come, it certainly won't be at 8. Probably 10 or 11, but you guys probably won't be painting by then anyway.

What color were you going with?

Satin black just like everyone else.

That's fine - I have to run and go pick up the food in cloverly at 9 so I'll still show up at 8 and help E/W prep (and remove my front bumper etc). We have to get set up and figure **** out anyway so that works really well. I will give you cash for the paint if you get me two cans - that should be more than enough right?
