It's not that simple. The wheel loses performance drastically, and it

it, and plenty, as I have in all of my years in the shop. Why taunt the
piranha? Would you also paint your car with a broom? Why not-----it's
painted, isn't it? :-)



I saw a rusted old 57 Caddie that the owner painted orange and black
with a roller and house paint. he drove it whenever his 67 Corvette was
in the shop for bodywork, which was about half the time. He had me
install a stereo system in it in the early '70s. Does that count?


Chuckle!

Now that's a discriminating car lover! Nothing quite like a nice orange and
black rolled paint job to set off a nice car! sigh Bet he painted the
bumpers with aluminum paint, too, eh? g
