Going from 4 inch heels to original slippers (posting as I go)

NOW youve got me wanting to Paint my Grill BLACK

:)

Mine is an ABS plastic overlay that I bought before they were discontinued.

Chalked my tires day before yesterday ,
28 rear and 31 front was a pain to do as they've already put down the fricken
calcium on the roads from the last ice storm and my chalk is WHITE
spent yesterday in the garage as the window folks FInaly showed up to do a complete widow and sliders replacement on the house
It was warmer in the garage, worked on the "Plastic-Hubs that screw into the original rims I have

The picture shows the rim and cap BEFORE I painted all the rims and the new tires

Paints coming soon the (original color of the jeep) after painting that color im thinking of doing the center ring in Black
and then original color-Paint pen the JEEP in the black circle :) and cover the chrome lug nuts with those Black condoms you can get on amazon
I was going to buy the color coated lug nuts but read they strip there color/flakes off or fades
I did see a truck at the shop when he did my tires that had red ones --all faded and rust

No more jeep funds ive empty'd every pocket but 500.00
NEXT up is the WRANGLERFIX brain Box need to save up more funds, I tried to bribe santa's elves --they laughed at me
ive got the 02 bank 2 codes,hard shift 1-2,and overdrive wierdness that goes away when i turn the switch off/light on (I hate that switch)
Im tempted to sell my other BABY a Icom IC-7300 Ham Radio That took me 6months to save up for a year ago ive no license but its a riot to hear all the Hams yack, I have an old Hammarlund 180 i got 5 yrs ago that got me into THAT money hole, and I wont sell off my gun collection new laws on that suck for buying and selling

cheers
John

Got my original "Hubs" Painted to go with the Original Rims I painted ,,without blowing myself up 18deg outside and 68 in the Garage
using my proPAIN turbo heater. made a cardboard paint booth with the heater pointed at it got everything nice and warm Hubs,paint,clearcoat
and went to town, I stood in front of the heater 5 ft behind me as i sprayed, then moved so it would dry/tacky like the directions said Then a second coat of paint. Then the UV clear coat. moving and waiting as above and did 2 coats of protection

Pictures are not the best bad lighting there now hanging over my woodstove im my cave to harden up, although they were touchable/NON sticky
after 20 min of TURBO time, cant decide it I want to do the centers in Black, or maybe just the indented Ring
