Re: Shake the Box CL360
Another note on those wheels: They ended up being a pain to paint. Perhaps if I had sandblasted them it would have been different. I cleaned them up very well and then used 400 grit paper on them before primer. Regardless, there were some spots on them that just didn't want to take paint. I used this same paint on the engine side covers and it went down very nicely with absolutely no problem, same thing w/ the brake disks. I finally got them to the point where I knew they weren't perfect but were "acceptable". The heat cure really did the trick, though, and helped a whole lot to get them looking good. So, not only did the baking harden the finish it also seemed to smooth and even it out. What did I use? VHT engine paint. Why that on the wheels? Well, that's what I used on the engine side covers and I like the color (Black Pearl) and wanted the disks, calipers, wheels, and rear spring to be the same color. I'm hoping it all holds up, time will tell.
