Thanks Monk  .......

Great job, :fing02:   Makes me want to pull my wheels & paint them.

You have to be a little more gentle when changing tires but hey I have plenty of touch up paint...

There's no minute like the last minute!

Mite get up early and  put the newly paint wheels on.

Those came out real nice from the looks of things, some people underestimate what a rattle-can can do when used properly.

Travis(y2kvfr) & Timmy might have room in Trav's truck to bring it up here. I can meet with Trav to pick it up, no one is coming within an hour of my place.

That colour looks awesome with the Sword Silver.

If/when the paint starts looking ratty, hopefully you can find powdercoat in the same shade, or close enough to.

Yeah I'll say the brake dust will start working on it first, I have in past used clear coated on automobile wheel that i bought from Wally World thats called Krylon Acrylic Crystal Clear and brake dust has no affect on it at all but your right that is the colour I'm using when I powder coat them.

Two reason 1. Its a colour that can be used on ALL VFR(other words resaleable) 2. Common colour.

Yeah, I'll take it for you.  If you wouldn't mind tossing it in a box, I'm sure we can find the space for it.  I'll be one of the few with a '00 VFR (that is still yellow).

This not inconvenience for you or any body else is it. I can ship it but i thought if some was here(at TMAC) that live close and they, had room of course, it would be easier but better see if i have room on the VFR first.

Not at all.  If need be, don't worry about the box, I'm sure we can find something local, or just wrap it in an old towel or bubble wrap.  If there is not room in the cab, I'll bungee it in the bed between the two bikes.  Besides, it'll force Seb to ride to my neck of the woods, I'll have to take him on some of _*my*_ twisties   :tour:

Wait a sec... I thought you were bringing me beer in exchange for fixing your fender? Or are you going to make it out here before TMAC for that?

No time as I am straight out until June. Drilled and superglued, done
