they are a B*TCH to paint in my basement and they didnt turn out perfect...
the previous owner had them coated with something and it wrinkled under the
paint on 1 wheel

i have a contact that powercoats fairly cheap... about $ 75 a wheel but I have to
remove the rubber and media blast them.. his booth is too small..

they look fine for now but i might redo them later...

duplicolor paint alone is about $100 and it took hrs of sanding etc... and the smell was in my house for weeks lol
