Not a bad job I think. Better than the crappy lookin yellow. Conner wanted them painted so I went to Wally World and $4 later..........

sweet! definately looks better than the yellow. looks like you got the rim situation fingered out?

how bout the paddles on the zuki? git r done!

Got it done, spun the wheels on the lugs....tread still isnt right though

did you have someone mount the tires on the wheels for conners bike or did you use that bar thing-a-ma-jig your buddy had??

First, I had to buy those wheels from throwinrox then...
No prob with putting the tires on , just airing them up, bead wouldn't seat.
Next door neighbor kid is a tire guy. Has 200 psi tank on his truck

YIKES!! careful next time with the air pressure. seen a rim come apart at pep boys at around 50 psi and messed the dude all up.'

get them tires on the correct sides!

looks way better. and I double the yikes on the 200psi, but I'm sure you just mean he has a 200psi not that you put in 200psi. I'm glad the rears worked out for you.

NO we did not put in 200psi he just had a tank that had a lot of volume, my compressor wouldnt do it.

And throwinrox, thanks

ghettobuggy may have some pics of what happens to a hand and knee when a rim comes apart he had six weeks off work to think about what he did

Not bad at all, let us know how it holds up after a couple rides. I did my steering stem and my subframe and they seem to be holding up. My subframe hasnt chipped at all, but i do have a few little chips in the steering stem.

what kinda paint? Is that the Chrome paint?

looks good OTO

It looks like the stock silver on most of the frames. THe light grey/silver. PJ1 sells stock color paint.

now get a nice bumper and some shock covers to hide that ugly yellow and he will be set.

Nice! Much better than my wheels on the 185.

Didn't you learn your lesson with the raddle can and the purple plastic 3 wheeler?

Astars ....

Rustoleum Chrome $3.95 at Wal Mart, 4 coats.

Never could get the mirror finish though. I was just tryin to match up with the polished aluminum rears.

Is their a clear coat type spray that you can put over....almost like a sealer?
Thinking of doing this to a set of mine.

You can get the Car Color clear coat rattle can from auto stores - really works good and holds up well

Maybe I'll do that...but the Rustoleum can recommends not putting on a clear coat but I guess, Why not?

I dont see why it would hurt it. But im no scientist.

Rustoleum paint is really strong. Compared to dupli-color i think rustoleum is alot stronger and thicker. Those rims look friken great, i cant believe how god they came out. Have you considered being a painter for a living.

They usually recomend no clear coat if it's going over something with a sheen to it (semi gloss, satin, etc.) paint won't stick too well and comes out uneven. If you take some fine grit sand paper to it, you might be able to get it roughed up enough to work good.

dam good job
