Ok, now i'm gunna throw out a new one because the kid hit me with another one.... Plastidip vs Paint? We need/want to eventually re-paint the Tardis and he has an idea that he likes of matte grey or black with blue striping and re-christening as The Enterprise (complete with ncc-1701 on the roof rack) or as The Defiant (same gig with id number). We debate about the Firefly Serenity and he thinks Boba Fett is lame so maybe not Slave 1. And he said we can't do the Millenium Falcon because that would be Sacrilege and the gobbles would punish us. I love my kid!!
So, in that spirit, he has been watching Plastidp vids (eg, http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=rNY9Dx617N8&desktop_uri=/watch?v=rNY9Dx617N8) and asked why not do that instead of paint? How does it wear? What kind of longevity? How does it do on trails considering we brush up against stuff?
Im clueless again as his co$t argument is very good as is the "we can peel it off and do something different later or if we don't like it" argument. The Boss just chuckles, shakes her head, and reminds us of her Rules: NO Drilling, cutting, or lifting and no more spent than $300/month to play unless saved for and agreed to ahead of time. Anything else, she's like "Have at it"! Very cool but does make the lights issue quite complicated.
Under the hood, adding that we're back in the great southwestern desert where heat is a factor, we're gunna go with coloured braid or something over chromin' it up to add some colour and maybe coloured lug-nuts onto the stock X wheels as we all 3 like the silver stock X wheels.
For off-road fun, we've agreed to stick to stuff we can do stock like trails n sand stuff.
