I did make some other plans for the car this summer that wont cost me much and will also save me some money in the end or cost more if I do a crappy job. Thanks to Keeneys thread I want to plastidip my trunk lid satin black, get the better spray nozzle or maybe even a cheap spray gun for my small compressor (have a large 5hp one at my disposal in my brothers garage if my little 150 psi doesnt do it). Use glossifier from dipyourcar.com to give it more of an even look and a little shine to it. Should cost less in the end even if I buy a cheap Harbor Freight spray gun, than ordering a honeycomb plastic overlay. I will most likely be doing my Chevy truck wheels first so it will give me a little practice. Or practice on half of the lid and peel it off until I have it down for the most part. Ive always done pretty good with spray painting before so I think I will be ok. Im excited to do this and the truck wheels to be honest, just something new and different to me. May even convince my wife to let me dip her Equinox wheels black, lol. The truck is white and was going to do a gunmetal color with glossifier from dipyourcar.com, they have a nice gunmetal color they mixed up. Anyway I may do this next week when Im off, trying to get some projects set up to keep my mind off starting a new job on June 6th. Been at the same company for 17.5 yrs now so its a major change for me. Just rearranging things in my life starting with working less and spending more time with my family. So my new job will pay less (scary part), but I will have a new life so to speak since Ill gain on average this time of year 30 hrs more a week at home including drive time, the new job is 4.3 miles each way, the old job was 18 miles each way through 2 cities with stop lights every half a mile or less (seriously), traffic like crazy so it took about 45 min each way on average. Just rambling since Im on edge due to making a change. Will be way less stress, way less hrs a week (40-45 a week verse 60-70 a week I was doing), more time for my son, more time for my wife, more time for my house, more time for me, a lot less BS in general, more time helping my mom, goes on and on. Keep telling myself money isnt everything and life, family, are worth more. So this is why I have to be more frugal with my mod money, lol.
