    Painting boat wheels

    Got tiered of looking at the gray factory wheels on my nitro trailer so I did a little diy paint job. Purchased some spray paint at lowes and some clear coat for a few bucks and went to work. Took a few hours for the whole job but all and all was easy and came out pretty good. Been holding up for a few months now with multiple long trips and abuse from the sun. Pretty pleased with the turn out.

    ... or go with a pin striping brush and gold paint, and do a couple parallel pinstripes on the face of the rim. Would match the trailer pins and the gold trim on the boat.
