Thanks everyone. Im really on a budget right now bc im about to move to VA and i have to buy a house. So this was my attempt to add something to hold myself over till i can afford some CCW's.

The only thing i did was clean it with some alcohol swabs.

nice work. i used the same stuff on my c6z wheels. over a short period, however, brake dust got under it and it started coming off. i ended up getting the stripes painted on. looks good though. would be even better if the wheels were black...

Would be a bit undecided if it were not for your red Z06 calipers. With the calipers,,it really does "Look Right"!! Nice job,,don't know if I would have the patients to do it!!
