Have a dragracing friend that has recently gotten into the dip business game.
Well with winter coming...and the chrome on my 22s starting to hurt I was getting ready to put the stock wheels and tires back on... HATE EM.
We got to talking and he asked if I thought about dippin em... it will hide the imperfections...and it will keep em from getting much worse with the salt and brine on the roadways.
I know dip is not perm...but if I dig it... ill let em go as long as they last...then send em out for chrome stripping and powdercoating the same color.
What color am I going with u ask... well he is gonna try to match the truck... white with the pearl stuff.
If there is some extra...hes gonna hit the top of the headlights with some "eyelids" since the inside of the lenses have gone cloudy white...
And...of there is extra from there... hes gonnleave the wreathes chrome... but shoot the inners pearl white as well...
We will see how it comes out.
