See if you can get kleenwheels powdercoated in one of the two pinks you're looking to use; forget the pinstripe! But without the dust shields, go for the rim.

Not spending any money on her.

If I did kleenwheels I'd be buying them for myself.

So far I'm leaning towards the rim.

Not anymore, her boyfriend/fiance seems to be a bit like me and likes to make waves. The fact that he will quite possibly be driving the car at some point in the future "if" they happen to run away and get married. He's military and seems to have a sense of humor similar to mine which means he WANTS to get out of a pink car in uniform just to mess with people. Pretty much the same reason I will drive it for a few weeks before I hand the reins over to her.

A pink smart cruising thru the View.... now that will turn some heads...

You should paint the AL State flag on the roof...

The pink "should" be the same color as yours. Now that I am looking at yours I will do the grille surround in a color close to your, most likely I'll take some extra white and mix a little pink in with it to get a light pink for "lips". I need to talk to her and see if that is what she wants. The car will have color coordinated door handles, skirts, gas door and mirror caps. I'll trim the interior out a little later as I get time (before the 24th). In the end, this car will "look" more custom than mine. Mine has a lot of things not visible.

Jwight, the reason you mentioned is one reason I thought about NOT painting the spokes. If I do a pinstripe around the edge it will look more professional IMO. No blur while driving.

Hey Panda, just pee'd. Should I have walked down to the bathroom to do it thoough?

Did I send you my paint code???

If I did it must have been that time after Panda plied me with martinis.
