good ol rattle can paint is what im using. :wink: i apply the paint in stages to avoid those frickin fish eyes. once i get the last and final coat on, i hang it in front of the topedo heater to dry. unfortunantly, i didnt use the heater on the front fender, so i didnt get the gloss i was after....but thats ok. :wink: dio swap........hmm.........ill stick with se50 engines. im not lookin for a whole lot speed anyway. :wink:

well, i think i decided to go with a two tone paint for the wheels. the spokes of the rim will be white, and the rim will be red. 8)
