[@marchaynes7843]

Love what Watching these videos do you have a list of after market parts you used?

[@astronomikidiaspasi]

What paint are you using? You dont have to use a sandpaper?

[@larespuertorico]

[@ghaithayad]

I like 👏

Thanks!

[@krazyk7124]

So u can apply spray paint to the wheels just like that and it will stay?

[@rabidsquirrelgarage745]

It's lasted me for almost a year and still looks perfect.

[@thanasis2220]

hey man, great build!
what kind of paint did you use? and how many coats did you applied?

[@rabidsquirrelgarage745]

Thanks!! I used Rustoleum "Toolbox Red" paint (you can see the can label at the 14:39 mark) and I did 3 coats.

Is brake parts cleaner a good idea to clean tires before painting whitewalls?

[@rabidsquirrelgarage745]

Not at all, unless you remove the tire. It will eat the rubber.
