Vick Almighty's Toolkit
Over the years, Reshoevn8r has completed hundreds of customs and restoration projects; We’ve used dozens of gallons of paint and sealer, yards of sandpaper, and an infinite amount of paintbrushes.
We’ve all heard the saying “I wanna be like Mike”. Well... over here at Reshoevn8r, we wanna be like Vick! For the last 6 years, we’ve had thousands of questions and comments about what products Vick uses in his customs, restorations, and everything in between.
Now you have it!
Although this is not an exhaustive list, we will be updating it every month to include more items that Vick has been using on his most recent customs.
