that wax is screaming ha! you wasted your time!

no squealing, but there is something else i cant tell if its just me paying too much attention or an actual problem, but it feels like i push the pedal down a whole lot more than i used to before i start braking. btw this started before the GTG.

Miles have you bled you brakes recently?
It sounds like you might have an air bubble.
I have a bleeder if you need one.
When I did mine it made a big difference.

We have about an inch already. Started sticking an hour ago.
Aaron I change my mind for your quad, if your going to use any kind of black it needs to be black prism so it looks like a gasoline spill with all the different colors reflecting.

Aaron, it seems to be missing all of the essential "go fast" parts.

Good morning! Just enough white stuff to make it slippery out there so be careful. Supposed to be in the mid 40's today so it should be gone by the evening.

Andy I had a Hypercolor tee shirt too! Actually I just threw it out about a year ago it had long since stopped changing color but it was a really comfy shirt to wear around the house.

Dave that paint is a House of Kolor product and it's wicked expensive.

My mustang is house of kolors dupont candy blue, the colors really nice. Up at Lebonon Valley once the tech tags were a hot pink and it looked really nice with the blue, was actually thinking of doing some ghost flames with the pink to accent it. But of course black goes well with the blue as well. And yes the materials very expensive, cost me 1600 just for the base, candy and clear coat.
