Spraying the wheels a failure
Spraying the wheels was a bit of a failure unfortunately. Perhaps it's the wrong paint, but after a couple days of letting it dry I could still wipe my finger over it and come away black.
Not cool, and hardly the finish you want for wheels. One good scrub and I'd wash all the black off them.
Once again Curtis came to the rescue with a local powder coating company - run by the locally infamous "duckman". You can't miss him on the left driving east on SR20 from McDonough. Big building with loads of old tin outside.
I've left him the wheels over the weekend for coating with 50% gloss black, so hopefully this will work out better.
