Oh didnt know we had Lowes in Canada, right on... Ya i ordered mine off amazon.com, i live 30 minutes from the border so i just get stuff shipped to the border store.... Never made sense to me how amazon.com/.ca have different merchandise & they dont ship to canada/us

I think the shipping has more to do with trade pacts than just moving products across the border. Amazon.com/.ca use vendors as well as their own warehouses to sell products.


I did about 4-5 coats (3 cans) for both sides.

BobbyC did you Plastidip your craftsman stools as well? I have the same ones but the legs are chrome.

I just plastidipped my wheels and emblems over the last couple days. I'll get a few photos up soon.

It won't hold up. Had mine changed and it peeled around the outside edge ( I knew it was going too). They also had to pull off the old tire weights to get the new tires balanced.
