MerMer is a nickname of an xgf.

Big boobs, small waist, great big ole ass.

Pretty much just like a Camaro. You could drive her as hard as you wanted and at the end of the day put her up wet.

Sweet! If I had to name my car after an ex with similar traits it would be Katrina (no nickname for her) - she had a temper on her too!

About the plastidip on the wheels, how tough is that finish?

Its only been a few days, but so far so good. If you notice I actually installed the wheels and sprayed over the lug nuts after I tightened them. It really ties the car together instead of seeing aluminum lug nuts they are black.

Wow! you did those yourself? Looks great

Yep, definitely looks better with the lugs blacked out too. How many cans did it take?

I went light and used the better parts of the cans. But I used all 4 cans, some have a little left in them. Its holding up so far.

Did you have to do any prep to the wheels?

I did quite a lot, but I also did it because I had not cleaned the wheels off the car since I bought her in march.

Step 1. Took them off scrubbed down with wash and wax.
Step 2. Took a tooth brush and got scrubbing on all the nooks and crannys these 45th ann wheels have.
Step 2. Took them inside==> dried them off then used a microfiber on them.
Step 3. I Used alcohol to dry up the paint surface
Step 4. Taped off the rim
Step 5. I then Used PPG wax and grease remover just in case. This is the stuff that they use right before painting any car surface in any body shop, etc.

Then I plastidipped them! It took quite a while, but at the same time I was doing other things to my car so I would spray a coat, work on something else, spray a coat, work on something else.

I used 3 coats and about 4 cans in total.
