reg paint works, its jus the sand. my paddle tire wheels shouldn't be flexing and it wont matter if they do. a guy i know has a powdercoating thing at his house, he jus uses an electric oven, it's not a professional setup. he powdercoated a peice of aluminum foil and folded it a bunch of times and it didn't crack, in fact, it made the foil harder to tear! i guess the thing now is gettin the money, cuz i have a job, but i got in a lil fender bender today and i'm gonna be payin like 600-700 bucks cash so the lady wont go thru insurance. havin an accident on my record when i'm 16 is not good.
