Thanks for all the compliments guys!

As for the painting basically I had them all clean and sanded down to bare metal in most places, aftet that I put like 3-4 coats of etching primer on them. Waited the appropriate time for them to dry totally. After that I painted one totally with the silver paint (no more sanding required) I put maye 4-5 coats of silver on and then had to wait 1 hour before the clear (both the silver and clear were special "wheel" paint so both worked with each other -duplicolor wheel paint at autozone or red rooster. So after the silver set in I put 4-5 coats of clear coat on and that was it. I waited maybe 2-3 weeks before I got the tires on just so the paint could cure some.

The allan heads were a paint in the arse. They are fake so you cant take them out- I tried that and one came out- had to glue it back on. SO I had even more fun putting small peices of tape over every single allan head so I would over spay onto their perty chrome color.

Oh well they look nice so its cool.
