Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
[QUOTE=gringoloco;499472] Maybe get some more time to finish them next week- trying to beat the winter cold before I'm unable to paint...
COLD WINTER,,,, Unless you moved a little closer to the North Pole, I doubt it gets cold enough not to let the paint dry..

Trying to decide if I want to order mine this week or wait to see what they look like on your truck.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Check out showwheels website, there are a few pics of our trucks with the polished version- if you're impatient, like me. They are the exact same size/backspacing as the coys on my old blazer, just shorter tires, so that should give a good idea of fitment. If not, mine should be on in the next couple of weeks...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
'Twas a nice, 80*, mid-November day, so I decided to lay some paint. Decided to re-coat all four wheels so that the color and sheen is consistent among them. After a TON of masking tape and a little work- I'm calling this project complete
![]() FYI: The second pic is most accurately representative of the actual color...
