Great minds think alike. Clean is mean. Noticed you were from Norridge. I am in Oswego. After this virus goes bye-bye, hope to run into you at some local shows and events!

My powdercoater charged me $400 for just the brushing, on my wheels. That's only $100 per wheel. If one of yours gets damaged, just repair and refinish it.
