    LOL! I screwed up!!

    Project Pro has a set of the 7 spoke? 14" alloys, and they were painted white to match the cars paint. Both right side rims were very poorly painted, and and hour of time and a quart of acetone took the cheesy white paint right off, leaving a nice natural aluminum finish. Thinking that the left side were also rattle can painted, I thought I was home free!!
    On to the left side.....
    Both left side rims were painted much, much, better. Well, after about 5 minutes of soaking with acetone saturated rags, there was absolutely no paint coming off..oh sheite!! After I really got down and really eyeballed the rims, it looks like they came from the factory painted white. Damn, now I have 2 silver rims and 2 white ones....

          IMHO, those rims are hideous(sp?) in white. They are definately going away. I am gonna try and make a trade @ a local junkyard. And the rims were professionally painted. It appears to be a factory paintjob, very strong and thick.
          Hey Charles, I'll get you a pic later today.
