Still haven't found 100 or higher octane unleaded in the Kalamazoo/Portage/Three Rivers area besides Gingerman Raceway @ $8 a gallon.
Anyone know of a race shop/ reputable mechanic in the above area? Not necessarily looking for a dyno, just someone with some skills. |

I was going to send my wheels to get powder coated, specially when I found a place that sand blast for $10 per wheel, but the pics got me inspired. I'm going to paint them myself and take my time. Any other tips besides take my time? |

Use light coats of sandable primer and wet sand in between coats. Use light coats of paint esp with the metallic paint. It tends to just start shooting out flakes when it gets to the end of the can, as soon as it starts doing that stop using it. If you keep using it you will get a really rough surface and you can't fix it without pretty much starting over. Most important thing, let your clear coat dry really really well. I did one coat per day for 3-4 days and let it dry another week before putting them back on the car. Oh and make sure it isn't too humid bc it takes even longer to dry. I painted outside and then brought them in my basement to sit. |

She is the master of painting wheels, that is for sure. Just make sure that the tires you want are already mounted, or don't take them to a crappy place to get mounted (like walmart) or they will screw up the lip for sure.
Also, next meet, possibly July 9, thinking about a BBQ/cookout, but not sure where. |
