Yea the megs is great. Spray on applicator pad, wipe on dash and you can let it dry or wipe with a MF cloth.

will do

I think I'm gonna do my window trim(I used that black chrome crap and it looks like *** up close) and door pillars(because someone tried to pry one of them for some reason and its rusting now, you can sort of see it on the front passenger door). I would do the mirrors and door handles too if I was confident it would really peel right off..lol

When doing a trans drain/fill, is it necessary to drain the hose as well? It says so in the FSM and was in bythabays video, just curious what all of you normally do?

Can not wait to go to the muffler shop and I know it will sound great, deep and sexy tone

funny that you call my extreme contact DW max performance summer tires(whatever that means) mudder tires, what tires are you running exactly?

all of your suggestions make my car slower and worse handling

everyone kept saying that in all of my searching

Plasti Dip peels off because clearcoat is not strong enough to protect it against rocks etc.

we'll see, thats why I didn't try it on awesome wheels..lol

the way I see it, if you spray paint wheels, they won't hold up and you can't undo it, powdercoating is so expensive that unless you have some really great wheels you are better off selling your wheels and buying wheels the color you want at least with plasti dip you can peel it off...maybe

I've sprayed a couple sets of wheels, first set held up just fine, and the current set is doing quite well.

Granted, you can't "undo" it, but it's easy to do either a partial or full respray.

Powdercoat is much more durable, and isn't always extremely pricey, and sometimes the wheel manufacturer doesn't make the wheel you want in the color you want it in.

My wheels, for example, look pretty bland in their original finish.

I think that plastidip will actually surprise you on durability.

^It's a sure way to make it rain.

Middle of a drought? Paint something! You'll have monsoonal rain in minutes!
