its ceramic paint for hi temps. i had this for a year and its perfect even on the bead locks but its all in the prep work. you have to clean the frame real good so the paint will stick.
why?? because it only cost me $10 for the cans and i see guys spending over $500 your choise

I've done this before... What's even better is if you get a chip, you can touch up, which you can't do with powder...

I will probably try this on my AC Nerfs I got. I don't want to waste money powder coating them, and silver just doesn't match my quad.
