No stress though, just resprayed affected areas.2) my shiny tyre stuff won't let masking tape stick to the tyre. But on the same token, neither does the plastidip so clean up should be a piece of piss.Couple more coats and then I'm done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was wondering about an easy way to get plastidip off I bought some secondhand rims that someone has dipped roughly and there is a bit of overspray to get rid of Btw can you use those strong mag wheel cleaner sprays or will it take off the plastidip?

I reckon 3 cans would probably do a set of wheels, I used 4 originally to be sure.1.5 today for the lips and a quick recoat of the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy knows what he's on about about doesn't spin lots of BS. Honest bloke who genuinely wants to see you happy. I had my diff rebuilt by them with a TrueTrac added and all new seals and bearings. Since having it rebuilt my diff is as quiet as a mouse. No whining, even with a solid centre diff bush.The TrueTrac is a nice bit of kit, feels nice and smooth...but I think I'd be lying if I said I've noticed a night and day difference between it and the standard lsd. My standard lsd always hooked up fine. So take that how you will, and others experience may differ, but I'm definitely happy with the work I had done at WA diff centre.Same no significant difference with the truetrak....but good piece of mind knowing you have it :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
