Wow I like that Kuranosuke! It looks like you had that professionally done! Very clean trooper as well. Any tips/advice for the liner? Just got my sample in the mail...they applied some to a small square of sheetmetal. Im wondering if you can go thicker than the 1/8th of an inch that they applied to the sample...?

Kuranosuke--noticed you removed the "caps" off the rims I had to junk one of mine because the lugnuts ate through the cap.

Roll Me Over
***
The process took about 4 hours of work:
1. Taping. I used the skinny masking tape to get the lines I wanted. Then, I put the fat stuff on the inside to cover more area.
2. Sand with 50 grit pad to rough up clear coat.
3. Wipe with wet terry cloth (x2)
4. Scuff with "greenie weenie" kitchen pad
5. Wipe with wet terry cloth (x2)
6. Wipe with Xylene (cleans and softens clear coat)
7. Dab with brush into crevices.
8. Roll on two coats with 1.5 hours drying time between coats for complete coverage.
9. Peel off tape BEFORE the Herc. cures!
10. 24 hours to fully cure.

As far as the little center caps go, I took them off because I replaced all the factory garbage studs and lugs with aftermarket ones. The new lugs wouldn't hold the caps on. I have two of them sitting in the garage if you want them. You pay shipping and they're yours...

Thanks for the compliments...
