I took the word Pathfinder off the back but was scared to tackle the
badge w/o knowing.
Question for you, are you saying that it will peel right off within a short time of painting, or that it will peel right off at any time?motorkas wrote:super easy and if you don't like it, it'll peel right off
interested as well with this, and another question is will it peel any bits of the chrome, or cleanly. what kind of dip?NVSteve wrote:Question for you, are you saying that it will peel right off within a short time of painting, or that it will peel right off at any time?motorkas wrote:super easy and if you don't like it, it'll peel right off
Thanks!!!nice work. that looks great
yep - it'll peel right off (short being about 15 to 30 mins after painting) and anytime after that - it's basically aerosolized rubber and comes off as a rubber film once it's dry. I literally waited about 10 mins in between coats - shot closer for a smooth finish, further away if you want a "textured" finish (it's what I did to the wheels). I feel ya on the drivers; I go both ways on the chrome and wood interiors - my other car is a modified e55 with burl walnut interior accents and exterior chrome accents as well - complements the car nicely but the faux wood interior on the pathfinder is comical (will be rectified shortly:) and the chrome was just too much for me - I wanted something "rougher" with the pathfinder - I purposely shopped for a truck based SUV and I wanted it to look like a truck (bigger tires are coming in the fall in time for winter and eventually I'll get to plati-dipping the roof rack). It's a super easy DIY project and has many applications: so far, I've done the chrome accents, wheels, running boards, the silver plastic underneath the front bumper and bull-bar (so everything was matte black as the bull bar came in a gloss black).Question for you, are you saying that it will peel right off within a short time of painting, or that it will peel right off at any time?
3 things I've never liked about some cars: the stupid people who drive them, chrome anything & wood/faux wood interiors. Your lack of chrome looks mighty nice. I think I might just have to add this to my list of future car projects.
