Then I picked up a set of quick fist clamps from 4 wheel parts. I plan on putting up a shovel, maybe a small fire extinguisher, axe, and a foldable lug nut wrench.

It's just been so damn hot here, that when I get home, I don't want to go work in a parking lot when it's 104*! I think I'm going to suck it up this afternoon and knock it out after work.
Looking fwd to seeing the finished project

Bought 6 cans the other day and I'm going to do some tonight at work! Everyone's plastidip projects look awesome!! Will do my key holes and hinges tonight. Possibly a bumper. Would post finished projects but it would be hard to see on my black 2dr.

I did my wheels a couple of months ago, and I just did my rockers last weekend up to the crease. I love this stuff, I even did the wheels on my Camaro.

I remember reading something about two cans would do 5 wheels but that sounds like not enough. Three rattle cans should be though. I did a whole truck bed with 6 cans of paint so...... Good luck if you do it. I'm sure it'll be awesome.
