Hey J. I think I remember reading about that right before I refinished my wheels. I really like that color in your wheels. That is what I was looking for. What color?

The paint color is graphite. You have remove the wheels so they lay flat for the primer to flatten out. It comes out of the can kinda textured. Worried me but in flows and smoothes out. There are vids on Utube of people striping their cars and then peeling it off. I've found once the paint is good and dry small mistakes can be sanded out since your using regular paint. The wheels aren't done in the pics. I'm going to let them cure really well then do the inside barrel and I may clear coat them. You can used index cards shoved into the edge of the wheels once you get them off. Tapbthem togetherandvyou can refuse on the other wheels. :dance:

Don't mean to hijack your thread but another thing that you could do with your car with this primer is stripe it up, see ugly stripe , paint wheels video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmB46rDBCks the wheels are shown at the end of vid.

Heck once I get my Ztop installed I might just do something like this for a winter project.
