You can use almost any type of spray paint aslong as its prepped properly. I used high temp engine enamel

okay that helps. i need to go see what colors they have.

prepped ? lightly sanded primmed. painted. cleared. ?

is that pretty much it?

I'll contribute. Pain will easily last if you're not a lazy bastard. Prep is where it's at. My spray job lasted me 3 good summers no problem. Only reason I had to redo them was because I got new tires and the guy had a lame tire machine and chipped some of the edges off.

Nah, It's to much of a pain to find bronze in the store. google duplicolor bronze and pick a place close by and order it.
