Are you storing your BMW for winter?

[midwest]

Maybe... rwd + limited slip + snow = FUN.. BUT I do have my 2010 forester that should be a boss in the fluffy white stuff.. But then again... I like to play lol

Its definitely good car control practice, and at legal speeds I think I like rainy days more for that though.

[240sxguy]

no

I'm respraying my car. I'm not quite sure if I have the balls to drive it in the winter after killing all that rust. Anyone plasti dip their car clear in the winter or something?

[Earl]

I plastidipped my car camo tan during summer=) lol

[Brian.]

Mitch, where you painting your car? ;3

[Rowleym]

In my garage man! Do you think plasti dip could keep the rust off?

[B C]

If you cover over a bare rock chip or scratch that has began forming rust , you face the risk of it rusting under the plasti-dip, paint, or whatever coating is on it. I think its a cool idea for winter protection though.

[camarok]

so "respraying your car" is I assume a not fully prepped thing you are doing...

[Rowleym]

Well I'm removal all the trust? I'm just not painting the door jams basically. Not bringing it to bare either. Well not at all spots. Just scuffing the primer and respraying with rattle can(bought the paint before I found out my dad has multiple paint guns and lots of experience painting cars) and then spraying a real clear coat.

Just have your dad paint it.

That reads like something a spammer would post.

MODS, GET IN HERE.

I don't want to return all the rattle cans. I feel bad lol. I had them special ordered or some crap.

I tried to type this while also trying to pay attention to my calc class. Long story short I spend more time on the forums than I do with calc. It's a bad thing.

[YoungCR]

If I were you, I'd ditch the spray cans. Having owned a car that was rattle canned, the paint didn't last 6 months with prep. Every time I went through the car wash, it would flake off. Take the time and do it somewhat decently even if you don't want a show quality job, especially if your father is an experienced painter. I think it would be better than having to keep respraying spots when they fall apart.

[Brian.]

Agreed.

[Rowleym]

Doesn't the clear coat make all the difference? I was going to use professional clear coat.

Prep work makes the difference. Using quality materials helps a lot as well.

Prep work makes the difference. Using quality materials helps a lot as well. Do it right the first time or don't do it at all.
