hey guys, does it make any difference that it is a machined lip?
someone on importatlanta doubted it was chrome and i looked it up and found this....
will this make it easier to paint?

If its not chrome then no need for sandblasting and stripping...just sand and prime and you should be good to go.

Well, I just knew something would go wrong....
sure enough, I couldnt get a lug nut off of the 2nd wheel I was doing....
fcker is on there waaaay too tight.
All I have is a 4 way...no power tools..

anyways, here are pics of my fail....also, I probably have a broken back again.

This stuff is a ***** if youre trying to be precise.

lol yes, thats plasti dip.
i figured id give that a shot first since it is only 8 bucks a can.
a lot cheaper than screwing up my first time spray painting.
