Just got those MOAB tires and V6 40 series rims, and I must say there HOT BLING BLINGIN BLINGY BABY! [if you know what I mean]. But thats not why I posted. Ok so I spent 2 hours masking off my new hummer SUT body, I Was gonna do it blue and silver, it WAS gonna look awesome. SO after i got done masking i took it out side. It was cold but not snowing mind you. and I painted the silver, well first off I forgot how much spray paint shoots it every where and it got all over places were the blue was gonna be, so i riped the masking tape off then it started snowing so now the paint runned and looks all crappy, I am thinking I will just do another coat of silver and hope for the best. any body painting gyru's who know any tricks to saving a ruined body? :eek: the good thing is it only cost me 25 bucks so not a big loss.

I just looked at mine and I think I found a new painting style..... THe humidity in the bag the body was in [it was in my room and I did not want ti to stink] cause the paint to drip, but it left behunde these little bitty vine like patterns that will look awesome when I paint over with blue, like lightning but ALOT of it. I may have just started some thing....

Chevy, paint thinner is a no no on lexan. It will fog it up in an instant. Morter, that body looks fine.

19.99 a pair, 29.99 for the tires cost me 99.96 for the tires and rims, the body was a steal because I got 25 off an order of over 150 on tower so every thing was only 125.99. Tec, I know it looks fine :p :D
