Looking for tires......

Thanks Jeff! Your Golds look awesome too!

Johan: You just made my day. My wheels are not original mags. They are older Halibrand reps, 6 pins. I found the right color after months of searching. Painted them and then used a scotchbite to scuff just slightly through the finish to aluminum to get a little of that petina effect. Love the old corroded mag look and think I came pretty close.

YES, you did a fantastic job and got the look just right ! Can you tell us what paint you used ?

The Paint is in a spray can by Plastikote, called Hi temp "Natural Cast Finish". Requires very little prep time, easy to spray, covers nice and adhesion is incredible. It is also oil and brake fluid resistant. On the outside of the wheel where it is normally polished, I applied just enough to cover evenly, then scotch brighted until I could see just a little bit of the aluminum showing through. It really does look authentic to the old corroded mag wheel.

Now (perhaps) all you need is the blue stripe.....from a testors paint pen...
