yes I have a ton of write ups from late 2013 and all thru out 2014 I'm about 100 behind...LOL I have some from 2011 ; )
Great work as always. Quick question regarding the OptiCoat. When you are doing the wheels on a vehicle do you remove them to do the entire wheel surface or do you focus only on the exterior face/spokes of the wheels? Come spring I want to OptiCoat my own vehicle and the wheels is one of the things I want to do as well however I don't know how far its worth taking it.
streetshotz, if the customer is paying for the removal of the wheel we are doing the full wheel, if not we usually do the face of the wheel.
