Thanks and it has not been for sale (recently anyway)....I bought it last year but I put the wheels on it in place of the spoked repros it came with and I painted the brakes.

Yep....I have painted about 8 or so different sets over the years and ALWAYS use G2 brand....its super easy and looks incredible. I always recommend it to other people I talk to who want to paint theirs.

Thats the beauty of it....just wait a few days then take a Dremmel to the letters. The part that covers the letters just chips right off leaving the rest unscathed and the word Corvette all shined up.
