If he sends it to me first, I'll make it say anything he wants it to. I was telling PDUB off line that there has always been something about my Trigos that bugged me, but I could never put my finger on it. Doing this little "paint exercise" has been the proverbial "wake up slap." think I'll start the wheel painting process this weekend. I don't see the need to do any more mockup work. The "ERA Chas Wheel Method" is a brilliant idea. Hmmm, perhaps I should start a new thread....

Just wipe the centers with a lacquer thinner towel to get adhesion or the paint will fly off at 30 MPH (top speed).

...and don't start another thread-Ron is ready to cancel your account at the bandwidth bank.

I have magic adhesion promoter waiting in the wings. What type of paint is it that is on the Trigos?

It may be powder coat or urethane. Ask Bob P.
You still need a clean surface on the wheel and you won't need the promoter. It's only an etching primer anyway.

Yep, found a quote where Lynn says the center section is powder coated in "authentic steel grey."
