thanks mezoom. i think i'll stick with the red. if the red doesn't show, i'll repark it until it does. the problem is gettin all 4 to show through together. well red on white it is. i'm planning on using the $6 pep boys spray on kind. it's said to last up to 900 degrees fahrenheit, so it should hold pretty well.

cool, 1 vote majority! maybe its the way the wheels were mounted but it is almost impossible to get all 4 to show at the same time. i usually just clean whatever ones are showing during car washes. eagle 1 has this new tire brush stick thing with a yellow handle. i tried it but only is good for cleaning the fronts, at best. best way is those wheel cleaner sprays and a powerful hose, or stick your finger through a towel and poke-clean it. btw-while you're at it, get the clear coating spray too to seal in the red. hehe, did u see my pic above?? have fun painting

yeah i saw your picture. looks really clean. i guess that clear coat will bump my 6 dollars to a whopping $10. well i'm just now thinking of what to do. take off the calipers and spray... or just cover the rotors, and anything else, and just spraying with the calipers on. i'm guessing taking 'em off would be the best.

oh and the name's kevin.
