It didn't change my text size.
Removed for those that did.

Have you looked into the Preval spray systems? They use a compressed air can, about the size of a butane refill, as a driver to spray the paint, which you mix and is contained in a jar below. Great way to apply automotive catalyzed paints on small jobs if you don't have access to a compressor and spray guns.
I have not, but I will now. Thanks!


Facts are stubborn things.

Paint can be poured in the seam but it is impossible to get the powder in the center/hoop seam to seal the fresh blasted metal.

When I went from 13" to 14" body color wheels on my '68 Valiant, I sprayed them with a 50/50 mix of satin and gloss black Rustoleum Enamel. The next weekend I scuffed the outside and sprayed it body color.



Old wheels blasted and powder coated 8 yrs ago,do it once and your done,only way to go !! twocents

Thank you.
You were right, it was not that image because the text stayed small.

I did my cop wheels with 2k epoxy then a coat of high build 2K primer. Most of the high build will be sanded off, I used it to fill small imperfections. After I sand the high build it will get another coat of epoxy primer. Last will be some 2K hot rod black which is a low sheen satin black.
