Well today I took all the rims that still need to be media blasted to the local tire store to get demounted. $10 per tire (includes disposal fee).
The Baster is closed on the weekend, so hopefully I can drop them off on Monday.
I decided to paint the one rim I already had blasted and primed. So I sprayed it this morning with the rattle can Bikini Blue I ordered from Tower Paint (first coat).
At first I was a little worried due to the much darker color when compared to the firewall. I guess even the hidden paint areas have faded or where painted a different color sometime in the past.
Where compared to the paint chips and also a section of the door behind the trim that I buffed with some compound, it look spot on to the rim color. Plus my wife likes the darker color better.
