    Donor Wheels ready for go-cart Action

    One of the side projects Liam asked me to help with, was the restoration and painting of the '07 Wagon Enkei alum. wheels. Why? I'm not sure other than a way to spend dads time and money...but heck, I learned a few new tricks and tried out some new products and they look pretty good. I follow this youtuber and pretty much did the steps he shows:

    While I have painted several cars using 2K products and my full HVLP spray guns, I have never tried the 2K aerosol can products...and have to say Eastwood does a nice job with their 2K Urethane primer and 2K High Gloss Clear.









    They are not perfect, but look 100% better than they did, plus we now have cool looking "STI inspired" all season rims/tires...even though we have the FFR Gunmetal wheels.
