Changes out the steering shaft on the Grand Prix. Talk about a pain the @$$.
Joints were worn out.
Replacement on the right.

Also fixed my small coolant leak i had. Replaced upper radiator hose while back and guess hose clamp wasnt holding tight and hose was able to move. Threw on a new clamp from my collection and good to go. Next up is all my front end work i need to do including my lift kit. Then my bigger tires wont rub on full lock turns lol.

I use plastidip all the time and have many pieces done on my envoy denali right now. Plus thicker it is makes very durable. Plus that color is gonna look killer on that color vette. Nice choice.

Thanks for the tips. I may order an extra kit for the barrels too.

Yeh have to be honest ive never done the barrels so you will prob need more. Just most important is make sure plenty of coats. If you dont use 1 full can per face of wheels you didn’t use enough and when you go to pull off it’ll be a pain. They make stuff that basically dissolves it off and spray off with pressure washer. But the thicker it is the longer it’ll last. And you don’t have to tape off tires but since its not black id recommend something to cover. On some of the wheels I’ve done i was able to use playing cards all stuck in between wheel lip and tires. Really depends on the wheel style. Eventually when you do remove it if it was thick it will come off almost in one piece.
