How is your blitz black holding up???? I just bought all the blitz black, hardener and thinner and everything to paint my dodge this weekend or next I'm not sure but how did you mix your paint, hardener, and thinner? U do it 8:1:1 ratio??? And got neon green under glow on the way......I didn't know it till now but I guess I stole your idea lol satin black and green lol

haha i dont care man, its gonna look sick! Its holding up great, ive got a lot of scratches but thats because I abuse the **** out of it in trails that I shouldnt be on haha. And yeah I did an 8:1:1 ratio, I shouldve used a little more thinner at the time because it was so hot and that wouldve helped it spray better. I recommend to start out with that ratio, then spray on a test piece and make sure you like the ratio and play with the settings on your gun.

Those 4.7s arent that great of a motor if you drive them hard I've seen, thats too bad it blew. Nice build thread though, read through all of it.

The straps are just slightly larger than the poles I used so they slide in and out of easily but are really secured. Theyve gotten a little beaten up from **** in my bed, but theyre cheap

just out of curiosity, have you driven with these mounts at highway speeds?

Ive gone around 70-75 mph with them and didnt have any issues. That was only for a short distance though. But honestly I believe they will hold really well up past that fast. Only thing im worried about is the flags themselves at that speed
