I was looking at smartshoppersinc.com and saw kirker came out with a candy paint line. I've used the primer and it works very well.... but havent had the chance to try any of their paints, and i'm interested how this candy paint would look... so anyone with the balls to try this stuff, post some pics
I read on another forum that the Kirker Urethane (not candy) if its a solid color, not metallic can be used with no clearcoat and cut-n-buffed to a nice shine. Is this true like for a budget driver ? I've heard the Kirker Clear isn't too good after 6 mo., it falls off...

Actually bro yes I have spoke to many wire co.'s Since 94 when the car was first built & everyone say's they can not do it... the problem is it's a 12" wheel ..if you have any ideas or connection's please let me know.
Thanx,

Because they are 1/2 in pos. offset ...This means that the wheel is almost flat the lug nuts sit 1/2 in. into the rim 7 they are 5 in wide with no room between tire & fender .... :angry:

Help a newbie out, whats painting panel to panel and why is it bad?? That when you paint right across a gap without stopping like from a door to a rear quarter??
A stupid question, right??

no without stopping would be walking the car....panel to panel is say for instance spraying a fender first then going to the door next..........not good to do with candy because you run the risk of seeing the transition in the door.......
