    Help, engine fails to accelerate past 1/4th throttle

    Wheel Paint and Tire Mounting

    UPDATE: I painted the wheels using VHT Ford Argent silver wheel paint and their clear coat. Turned out nice, I will get pics up soon. I painted the rims with no tires on them and when the shop put the new tires on there wasn't a single scratch/chip in the paint. With good prep the VHT stuff...

    $50 Rustoleum Paint Job?

    A guy I work with painted a fifty-something truck with the Rustoleum. It turned out good considering the truck it's on.
