Congrats dude!

I went to Lowes and found some paint stripper. Commin' off pretty easy now. I wonder how hard it would be to polish it myself.....

 

What is the stripper you used? (the stuff that removes the paint, not Bambi or whatever name is popular amongst them these days).

 

It's gel in a can called Jasco. It sticks to the paint and then the pain just bubbles up. Slick stuff.

 

candi btw calvin

 

glad to hear its working ????

Ah... I should have know that one.... There is always an XTC at any of the places I have been. My personal uh..... experience is with "Fantasia" and "Heather"...... ancient memories now....

Oh yeah.. paint remover..... the stuff I used to use is banned these days for environmental reasons. Name started with a P, but I forget the name.

 

lol

 

Ok, so I got all the paint off of the IC. However, when I got it off, I started thinkin' it would look really nice polished, but VA does have a powdercoat that looks close to polish.... And I plan on getting some polished hard pipes for the turbos, a GReddy elbow kit, and polishing the UIM a bit myself. Should I polish or powder the IC? Here's some before and after pics:

go bling or color, still looking good anyway....

 

I want polish, or as close to "polished" as possible. How much would it cost to get polished?

 

you need to ask Wade about polishing , but I think he is backed up just a bit , he is trying to finish his car so we can move it . how soon do you want this done ???

 

Well the CAI won't come in till Monday, so I guess I'd like it by Friday so I can have the weekend to put everything in.

 

i dont see it happening that quick , unless he knows something i dont . he still has to figure out his head light problem , finish up his lambo door project and Im sure something else will pop up ?? But I will get ahold of him and tell him to check the board ., He gets off work at 10 pm , he will check after that ???? Im sure he will post or pm tonight .

SAME BAT TIME , SAME BAT CHANNEL

 

Thanks, I guess I can wait, but you know how it is. Getting new parts you can't install is like finding a new hot girlfriend you can't screw yet.... You can't can't wait to get it in!

 

hahahah you can install it or you call it " screw it " but it wont be a finished product or as you say " she will be ugly as **** " hahaahha either way its up to you .

 

She's "finished", but I'd like a little "bling".....

 

we all need a wishing well in the backyards......................

 

Im not a bling guy , i like simple , but good looking , there is too much bling out there now adays , everyone wants polished or chrome stuff ,

what ever floats your boat , this is just what floats mine , hahaha

If wade cant do it in time then powder coat would be no problem , and maybe this weekend if you needed it quick .

What ever you want , we can make it happen .

Actually you do have a good point. Maybe just a bit of powder would look good. Can you send me links to the "silver/polish" stuff you've done so far?

 

bling is good, bling is good, make you faster is about 15HP to the RW

 

LOL, yeah and I hear that adding vinyl Apexi, GReddy, RB, and K&N stickers to your car will add 15 rwhp to your car!

 

i can find the link tomm or you can look for the pics I left Johney , they were his parts I did . They were posted 3-4 weeks ago I think , let me know what you find

Va

 

is anyone out here looking for a stock polished 3rd gen IC , I have an extra one over here .

Va

 

I can polish the ast tank before the weekend but the intercooler is going to take about 8 hrs work and I wont have enough time between my 2 jobs to finish that before friday.

 

wade what up......
