Just a quick tip.

I pulled the wheels of Amy to give them a fresh coat of paint.... they where washed and then i took a wire brush on an angle grinder to them. I was able to get most of the weel down to bare metal but thought my 90% grind was going to be ok.... not so!

Any bump or lump or any patch that wasnt SMOOOOOTH showed up in the final pant :mad:

SO, if you arent going to have your wheels sand blasted just take some sand paper to them and rough up the surface. Anything between bare metal and ruffed up smooth paint is not going to work out well.

I know they look good below but I wish they looked this good in real life.
