official aSSmeister build

[Bassmaster]

Doesn't say percentage. But just noticed these were "dark smoke" not the "dark black". That's why it's more cherry than I thought lol oh well I'll see how I like em.

But yeah definitely got the hang of it more towards the end. Working in small sections, stretching with heat worked much better than a large selection

 

[Khaos]

You were using soapy water right? Makes it easier to correct mess ups lol

 

[Bassmaster]

Nah I only just misted real quick with the IPA solution. Don't think it helped much :lol:

 

[Khaos]

Oh, that might be why you had a bit of trouble like you said lol. I had a sprayer with a slightly soapy mix. After cleaning the lens with an ipa wipe down, spray soapy mix on bare lens. Apply film and move it around til it's where you want it. Squeegee bubbles out and start applying heat, from the center out.

That's how I did mine at least.

 

[Bassmaster]

Ahh yeah that's how some yt videos showed too. I didn't feel like mixing or finding the soapy bottle and tried to compensate with IPA :lol:

 

[TechieTruckGuy]

Might have to give this a try for my next set. My taillights are starting to delaminate.


Sent from the 4.hate using tapaturd

Ipa probably dried too quick lol. Try the other way next time just to compare.

 

[Bassmaster]

Will do. While out today I got a silver fabric pen for le headrests.
Stock

Pen'd. Came out darker than expected, figured it was cause the dark stitching.

Then once I was finishing the last letter the actual ink started to come out... So I went back over each fgt letter lol

Then forgot a final. But will add a second layer tomorrow and then clean up the edges

Also not fond of the taillight darkness Way too much red coming through I think? This is before the sun is fully even up.

Looks like a shitty nightshades application imo

 

[Khaos]

Nah, just a shitty tint application




:cheeky:

I'd just get them sprayed.

 

[Bassmaster]

Yeah, that too

But I like the removable factor of this. Even if I roll it for a bit to test the police waters here. Dnw $100 to paint tails then be a pita to remove

 

[Jake747]

Quit being a Jew and buy another set and have them sprayed correctly. Lol

 

[Bassmaster]

Don't need to buy another set :think:I'll be damned if I didn't try the $5 method first though lol

 

[Bassmaster]

Finally got cgm sticker on

Apparently Camera can't focus on distance now :ayfkm:

Applied 3rd layer of fabric paint and cleaned the edges up

Truck keeps dying though.. Because the dash cam and monitor have constant power to them since the cig lighters are always hot. Will need to change them over to accessory

 

[Cleanoh4]

Surprised you didnt crack the windshield putting it on

 

[Ginger]

it will peel back off in 1 week

 

[Bassmaster]

Most likely... :assmaster: it wasn't fully sticking at first so I parked in the sun for an hour and that worked

 

[Bassmaster]

One year update I guess lol upgraded brakes to slotted/dimple rotors, all new calipers & pads and fronts +1" to nnbs Tahoe setup. Hell of a braking difference.

Now finally got some wheels

What would be the Atlantic City skyline lol

And I finally fixed my p0446 code that's been on for two years lol

 

[Khaos]

What was the cause of the code? Need to do a brake upgrade on mine too once it's all back together.

 

[Bassmaster]

It was just the vent valve switch stuck open. $40 part, but $200 in labor :ayfkm:
