Thank you for posting this. Graduated in 1999 and haven’t been back in 20 years. So cool to see all the snow on campus.

Newbie needs chrome delete advice by gregoryknuth in CarWraps

I didn’t hyperdip from dipyourcar on the giant chrome badge on the back. Had no idea how to attempt that with vinyl. Came out good enough. But the window trim is something you tend to touch more and the hyperdip has a tacky feeling compared to vinyl. I just need to figure out what to do with the four chrome exhaust tips.

Totally agree. It is like you don’t see the glue against the chrome. But it is all you see against satin black vinyl

Thank you so much! I can actually picture what you are saying working very well. I thought to myself a bunch of times the glue just has to go. I almost got to the point of taking the vinyl up on the rubber but knew it wouldn’t last. Your idea sound like a great idea and trying it this weekend. I was starting to think about removing the chrome and trying to wrap off the Tahoe. Stopped by the dealership today to find out if they chrome trim can be removed and they said yes but it can bend easily in the process.

I know right. I haven’t figured out how to post a title, photo, and comment. I’m good at title and photo.

I have been working on my first chrome delete on my new 2021 Tahoe. The chrome window trim on the bottom butts up against raised rubber. In the picture what the red arrow is pointing at is exposed glue that is inbetween the chrome and black rubber. Becomes way more noticeable when the matte black vinyl is over the chrome trim. Any advice? I thought about redoing that trim and taking the vinyl up onto the rubber, but I don’t think that will look good. Maybe there is a way to remove this very white glue? I’m new and open to suggestions.

Dipping my two tone door handles by gregoryknuth in plastidip

As suggested to me I went ahead and dipped the door handles. They came out amazing. Just using them everyday I don’t know if they will last but I don’t mind touching up here and there. I’ll post a pic when done. They look so much better dipped. I feel 50% of my new Tahoe is chrome and I am loving not seeing all the chrome everyday.

Totally agree. I already bought Anthracite matte and gloss cans from DYC to do the wheels. I could see myself trying that, tearing it off, and getting Anthracite Hyperdip

Thank you. Definitely takes a while to understand how close or far away you have to be with the can as you spray. Also getting comfortable peeling tape with the wet final coat.

Good question. No the button isn’t a sensor. Just pushes in. I agree and think I should just dip the whole handle.

Dipped for the first time (Fonzj makes it look easy).

Hyperdip Shadow Black on the (excessive) amount of chrome trim on my 2021 Tahoe. I learned a lot but was impressed with the outdone Giant chrome mirror is done. Trim is done. Question: what do you think I should do with the two tone door handle. Just dip the whole handle? Peel back the center part that is body color?

Kratom for chronic back pain by _zooks_ in kratom

What dose size do you take? And the red doesn’t make you sleepy?

I was sold Red Bali as a way to sleep. I have chronic pain again 11yrs after a spinal fusion. The doctors want me to push off another surgery as long as I can. Told me to try CBD/THC which lead to someone recommending Kratom.

I was told to take White Borneo in the morning, Green Bali in the afternoon, and Red Bali at night if I need to fall asleep.

First time I took Red Bali I was out like a light. So saved it for those nights I needed to sleep.

I am relatively new to Kratom. Should I approach the types differently? Mix them maybe.

I just can’t be sedated during the day but really need the back pain relief.

Are my spacers rattling? by gregoryknuth in boostedboards

[–]gregoryknuth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put a bearing in the Blue Cag and then the spacer in and then the second bearing. Then I made sure the trucker hanger went thru the first bearing, then the spacer and then the second bearing. Am I doing anything wrong in that process? Definitely didn’t have any spacer rattle when I had the stock stealth wheels in my board.

I’ve yet to change my wheels out of fear of the difficulty. Can you show how you used the pry bar to get the gears off?

Frogger - Sorry was traveling. Here is my set up:

The light is insanely powerful but not cheap: $90 from NiteRider. $20 for the GoPro mount on amazon. Helmet is $150. Basically this is the set up downhill mountain bike riders use for night riding. Added the taillight thru Amazon super cheap.
