    LUCAS OIL TRANNY FIX ADDITITVEL I have a lottop downstars running, with a full bottle of Lucas Oil Trasnmission Fix ready to put in the morning; it's sitting on the AC adapter which is HOT to pre-warm the solution as I undertstand it is thick. my 2nd/3rd gear bands/clutch packs are tour up; no metal was found in the pain, typical tiny priece at the magmet, what was in the pain was brown burnt smalling, very nasty, I washed it alll out and let ATF drip our for over a week, lots more came out; filled with 2 gallons and fired it up, ATF came pouring out of the DRIERS side of the radiator, the radiator's intercooler had let go, I knoew it wasn't the hoses, had to be a core; figired this would flush lines anyways; so not fitted up with new lines and radiator; variety of salvage yads in the area witht his commoin GM tranny, cheap and guaranteed; but first, what will LUCAS OIL TRANSMISSSION additive do? give me some temporary normal shifting? can it make things worse? Thanks, Erik

    But it finishes like powdercoating.
    ive dipped tool handles before but never thought about using it for wheels or that it came in a can - much cheaper than powdercoating too im sure but im assuming that you would have to rough up the chrome surface of the wheels to get it to adhere? would be nice to just be able to peel it off and have the chrome safely underneath for when you wanna bling bling

    Evillecutter.... that basically what i did . i wanted to keep the originally proton paint and chrome rims. so the carbon fiber is just a wrap and on the rims. itll stick as long as the surface is clean. after 4-5 coats of pasti dip. i can almost peel it off in one big piece...
    youtube plasti dip... people are doing entire cars....
