Mikey the rattle can man strikes again,this time on an unsuspecting set of Escalade rims.

Below is the aftermath of such a brutal attack on these innocent rims.

I also painted the drums and calipers green while I was at it. I got to thinking about my end caps and valance though. I painted them black with Krylon Fusion and I haven't gotten a single stone chip or anything in that paint. For you paint guys,do you think I would be safe if I primered over it and then sprayed the caps and valance green and not worry as much about it chipping ot peeling,since it will have a painted base to stick to,rather than bare plastic? I just ask,because I had the caps just primered before andevery time I washed the truck,the primer would peel off the caps every time I hit it with the spray nozzle.

Same here,but I was getting really tired of the scuffs and scratches on them,and when I got these,I really wanted the chrome ones,but I had to settle with the aluminum. Before I painted them,I was really worried that I wasn't going to like it,and had no idea how it was going to look on the truck. But after I did one and put it on the truck I was like 'holy crap...that definetly works!'

As for the bumper situation,looks like I might have to stop and pick up some more green paint after work tomorrow.

I've had those centre caps on there since I pretty much got those rims.

That was definetly a fun trip lance!

Pont,I think I'm liking the green...if it matched,lol!

It's just spraypaint. If I don't like it,I just do it over again. That's the beauty of it.
