Hey guys, I hope your Saturdays are going well. Just got back from lunch with my Z group. Also swung by the VZ store today and they are sending me a replacement Galaxy Nexus since mine keeps shutting off all the time. :tup:

Ryan, I sent you an e-mail a few minutes ago with the details for the decal quote. :tup:

Playing with photoshop now. Took a few pics at the meet.

Awaiting some of those pics Steve:tup: Let you know whats up with those stickers later today.

Mr. Alchang, what exactly are you doing to make your plastidip not rip when you pull the tape off? I did my fangs but even though I went slow and tried to cut it with a blade, it tore kinda ragged in places. I'll probably redo it.

Oh and I forgot to say, last night I tore my car apart and finished my system install. Pioneer HU, Zenclosure, Kicker zx400.1 amp, and an old 12" Sony xplode sub to hold me over until I decide on a new one. Might be installing some infinity reference speakers soon too :)

I think you meant me Huck!!! ALCHEMY not Alcheng, lol!!!!!! Its hard to remove it without ripping. I run a razor blade very lightly around where Im gonna peel. Its tough. I just ripped it taking it off my mirror and had to do some touch up. The key is taking your time. I have been at this for about 4-5 hrs already today.

Does it finish rough or smooth? i know it is matte-ish... i wounder if you do enough layers if you can sand it smooth if it is rough... and then put a clear over it... idk....

Sorry man, I'm half asleep right now. Good stuff, I guess I'll just have to try it again and go even slower.

Memories (I think that was your name, im on tapatalk) you can't sand plastidip, it's like a rubber coating, if you try to sand it, it will just tear up. They do have a clear coat for it though to make it a bit glossier.

Done with my detailing for the day. I have a small wallmount Shopvac that I tried for the first time. Has alot of power for it's size. Ok now for the post that will make Kensan put me on his perm. ignore list. I and waxed my car with wait for it, wait for it, Mothers California Gold Liquid wax. Sorry I don't have a 30 step Zeino system like Kensan. Car did turn out very nice. :ughdance:

Nice job Alchemy. I think with a little spray and wipe with a black detailer the mirror mount will match the plasti dip. :tup:
