Forevrbumpn Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 no issues at all man... should be fine some paints contain toluene (spelling) wich deteriates rubber based glues, so that is something I would look out for. I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbdblue Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 not to bash your idea or anything cuz matching your paint would look pretty sick but, would paint eventually chip off from the movement? Just out of curiousity.

Derrick824 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 It might be a good idea to add a lil flex additive in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjoe302boss Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I have painted subs myself and found not one single thing wrong with it, it sounded good and lasted. You know how to properly prep a truck for paint, so don't slouch on preping the sub and you will have a lasting paint job. Also if you armorall your interior, you should clean the subs a few extra times because the silicone floating around and all from spraying it. just my two cents though. dc lvl 4xl 12 kicker zx1500 2 sets of kicker ds6.5s optima yellow top (extra batt) with big 3 1/0 guage and 3 150amp anls eclipse cd5000 headunit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
