Yuppers....Not going for the Cobra R look though (kind of hard to do with a Scorpio )

I'm thinking about painting mine black with the tbird snowflake centers... but they are just slightly too big and it kinda annoys me. I would like to get rid of that pony though. You keeping yours?

Nope...I'll probably just fill and smooth.

A shot on the old car...

Reading works wonders.

Anyways, for prep, i cleaned the wheels with some brake cleaner, and sprayed them. No scrubbing, no prep, nothing.

I used Duplicolor Textured Metallic on my snowflakes, and i wiped them off with a dirty rag, and sprayed them. Snow on the ground and all. Paint still looks decent.

Well I got one done...still working on the others (cleaning, prepping, etc)

The satin black is a little more glossy than I like, but at least it's not high gloss.

;) That's because the Scorpio bolt pattern is different than the SN-95.

It looks like it will take a full can (and maybe a touch more) per wheel if you do all of it.

This paint is not as satin as I would have liked, but at least it's not full glossy.

I thought I would be slick and sneak out of here during my lunch break, but I just got a load of work dumped on my desk. This sucks, it's 70 degrees out too. :(
