I just went to our local Body Shop Supply store and bought a gallon of Imron Silver which they had premixed for someone by mistake. They had a bunch of "mistake" cans there, so I chose one that just looked good. Imron is normally God-awful expensive, but this was marked WAY down. It looks great, especially if all the wheels are painted with the same paint. I have a couple of good OE wheels with the OE silver paint. They don't look quite the same as my paint jobs, but I'm SURE they don't look quite the same as they did when they were new, either, so I'm quite happy with the wheels I can turn out now. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
