(been looking into messing with my stocker) i used the duplicolor flat black, it was about $6 a can, i only need about 3/4 of a can and i put one 3 coats, too bad ur not closer, i have an extra can, medium and fine sandpaper and masking tape. I would just give it to you. -------------------- Your signature is not allowed on 6GC - Defgeph

LOL j/p came out very clean good work man! funny part is i really did! u just cant see it in the pix, but its a tiny part on the inside of one of the spokes, and since i dont wanna mask it all off again i might just use a black marker!! its only a tiny spot less than the size of a pencil eraser head. -------------------- Your signature is not allowed on 6GC - Defgeph
