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

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?

A hot, sunny day and rattle cans is the way to go, great, pebbled
