yeah I really wanna follow I think it is Tony_4Runner's ISR MOD, but this one will do for now, he did his beautifully out of a tube of Delrin plastic and a nipple and it looks great!!! But this one, like I said in my thread costs under $7 and took like 20 minutes. lol.

drguitarum2005 - Awesome job on the rims. They look great.
YotaFun - Im no expert with painting but when I was painting steel projects we used Muriatric Acid. Its a very good cleaning agent and also acts as a small sander/etcher to the metal. It worked very well seeing the projects came out better after cleaning with the acid than when not.
As drguitarum2005 mentioned your prob gonna need something to etch it. This is just one more way to do it. Just my 2 cents on it.
Oh and if you do use it....be VERY careful....It is kinda dangerous, so use rubber gloves, and a mask, and then make sure you rinse and dry off the metal after using it so that it wont rust. The acid seems to speed up the rusting process. If you have any detailed questions about it let me know. Ill try my best to help.

I used the same paint on my 4runner rims, and its been a few months, and durable i must say, also used chassi saver on my frame, its a paint that kind soaks into the metal but beaware if you get it on your skin its going to be their for awhile, paint thinner will not get it off. the company makes a special thinner for it. Its the bomd for anything you have thats rusty, dries rock hard, and will not chip. Comes in satin blk, gloss blk, and silver as far as i know of.
