Nice...

I painted my UTV with a green variant of that stuff, it has held up pretty well, I am curious as to how it will hold up on wheels.

WD40, wonder fluid...

Yep, this is 4-5 coats per wheel. It's on thick but there simply isn't that much metal to cover. One advantage of forged wheels I guess.

And no dust from the PCCBs should make cleaning a breeze. Should wear fairly well too.

I really like working with it, other than the fumes (I'm wearing a VOC respirator) it goes on easily and is very forgiving.

Are you (do you have to) curing it too?

Oh nothing unusual, just caught in a sudden snow squall in north Scottsdale!! Snowing like h*ll and worried about getting home as it is hilly in our neighborhood- could barely get up our driveway. My neighbor was using towels to get his Maserati up his driveway... at least 4 wheel drive paid off though the old Pirrellis weren't impressed with the snow... got about 3-4" a couple miles after the first picture. Should have taken the F150 on errands!!

Had an Azusa Canyon cruise, all the way until we hit snow, then it was slipperier than a banana peel on an ice rink (someone said this, was very funny)
Scenes were beautiful, people were good and we all had a blast. There was a sharp right hand turn that scared the life out of me, but other than that, we all had a great time.

Raced my friend (FBO 16 GTR) and was surprised that I pulled almost 3 cars in front and lifted at triple digits. Fun.

Nope. Just air dry. Turned out great.

Wow, that looks really good, the color contrasts well. It'll be interesting to see how long it lasts.
