Why paint them if your trying to remove the paint now? If your gonna call slapping down a layer of black rattle can refinishing I guess I'm more skillful then I thought

That’s because I’m ADHD diagnosed and unmedicated. My process is backwards but, I’ll succeed. ;)

Hey, it’s not like I just grabbed a can of Rustoleum and called it a day.

I “applied” a rattle can of primer/paint/clear “finish” to the “surface” of my wheel “object”.

Hey, man. I rocked those glass bottles of Krating Daeng (original Red Bull) from Thailand long before it was “cool”... I had to get my brain bubbles on with some bull testicle.

That 80's catalyzed epoxy don't go down easy, makes a wonderful base if you sand it a bit however.

Nice and flush. Looks good enough to be OEM.

Been thinking of painting them white with red pinstripe. Put a TRD sticker on PVC cap for Profit!

Way better to drive compared to the 205/65r16 monster truck tires that were on it.
