How much longer lasting can spray paint be? Is it worth it considering the alternative is a four second touch up with a rattle can?
Whatever. Who cares. The wheels look nice for a rattle job I was just saying a similar look could be achieved for way less effort. It was also sat 3am when I wrote that post, idk why im accidentally hijacking this thread with an inane argument. Just saying the effort might have been overkill.

Slang: no

duplicolor does make a nice wheel clear that you can add after, the paint tends to hold up better and last longer with the clear

I'm not a sling i'm a slang....Sometimes it's hard to get humor here.

Anyway, some people like step-by-step procedures...I know I do especially on anything mechanical. But, I like the keep it simple rule too. And I like snappy, lockeroom (not Kandunskying) humor so it's all good guys.

If I ever did a bumper sticker, it would read..."You drive like my mother."

I'll look into it. Sorry. I've been posting over my cell so I haven't seen any signatures in a while.
Sweet deal re: the tires though. What type??

well my first choice is between STT's, Firestone MT or BFG MT.

my second choice is Definity MT's made by Cooper. At about $50 a tire cheaper (@ $510 vs. $690 (STT others pricier) not incl.in PR I will be most likely be going with the Definity MT's, black wall.
