Stage II complete

[FRDnemesis]

Just had my FAST 102mm intake painted. I can't stand the light gray color they come from the factory. This is more subtle and to my taste.

I also had spoiler wrapped in 3M Di-NOC. I am also having several other components covered in this material. The stuff is absolutely amazing.

I'm going to do my Fuel Injector Covers just like these in the Di-NOC material as well. It will match the intake & the car.

Awesome, but stop sitting on the job in a rolling chair. You'll never get done.

Do you have to treat them with the tire still on the rim? I thought about doing the wheels on my F-150 with that stuff.


My badges, front splitter and side markers should be done later this week. Then I just have to go back to N.C. to pick them up.

Going to get my tires mounted on my new wheels tomorrow. :bigthumb:

Good luck with the fuel rails, the heat in the engine bay is going to undo all the stretching to make it fit.

Looking good.

Why not just use the index cards that come with the kit?

Jeff, who is doing the 3M wrap?

There is actually a bonding agent you can apply if you want the material to stick stronger.

But I doubt the engine compartment gets as hot as the direct heat of a heat gun which is what it pretty much takes to get this stuff to release, as you know.


Very nice job on the console btw! I'm doing the console, control panels on each side of the cluster, steering wheel panels and door controls.

Same guy who did your tail lights. I'm getting ready to order a huge roll of the stuff; matte black and graphite gray.

[Mustangscotty]

where do you get the roll from?

[ForceFed4g63]

Looks good, don't know about the spoiler though. I also would have kept the red R on the intake, otherwise everything looks great!

[FRDnemesis]

where do you get the roll from?

There are several vendors that sell it. Just go to google, type in 3M Di-NOC and pick a site. It is pretty much the same price for everyone The 120" x 48" roll is about $240 'ish no matter where you look.

My tires need to be rotated anyways.

It may be tough to not booger up the coating remounting the tires, which is why I was going to wait until I replace the tires before I sprayed mine.

Good luck with it.

I think theres been a misunderstanding. Im not getting new tires Im taking the wheels off of the car to spray them instead of doing the wheels on the car. I plan on using the index cards and spraying the wheels with the tires on them after they dry Im going to rotate my tires and remount the wheels to the car.

For some reason he is only selling graphite, brown and white. That may be why he is a tad cheaper; those colors are in far less demand than matte and gloss black.

I'll contact him to verify. Thanks for the tip Chris!!! :cheers:

Gotcha I didnt even realize they had different colors. Its worth a call if it can save you $50 though.

Glad to hear that some of your performance work backlog is easing up and allowing you to get some painting done. Are you guys gonna bring the Supercharged Challenger down to charleston to dyno tune it?

Be sure to post pics of the Model A, when its done.

We will be bringing it down after I do the 440 stroker engine and upgrade the fuel system and boost. Hopefully i will be thru painting the 29 in a couple of weeks.
