Busted the tires off the wheels to strip the wheels and paint and clear with a automotive paint through a proper paint gun no rattle can BS. I'm still going to do the Semi Gloss black with red ring on the lip.

Now just waiting for this new tool to arrive, it will be a tight squeeze but I think they will just barely fit.

Sweet! You doing the paint work yourself?

I do paint work and love doing silly little stuff like this. Don't be shy on the clear and make sure you let it flash a bit longer than what the product you are using calls for. This will ensure a good strong/clear clear.

It will be a slow process as I am beyond swamped with the office being understaffed and having 89 projects to finish by the end of the year, and it being Fire season and we are set on a record year of pushing 600-700 calls already this year when we usually only tone out for about 200, Add Baby and GF in and I have very little time. Might have a buddy who paints do them for me to get them done faster.

Might be able to do them during Hot August nights at my buddies house up there if I take the truck... So bear with me on the slow updates

With 2 of the guys we have here at the office, I need as many mental breaks as possible to not go postal at work.... :roflsquared:
edit, and most of my posting is while I'm waiting for my computer to process things... Multitasking :)


Well, don't be posting threads on this stuff if you're like 2 years out!!!!!!


LOL

Not going to be that long.... Maybe a few weeks.
