Jay,
good to hear from you again on the forum, dude -
Nice work on your Gyro man; the paint job looks awesome.
Keep us posted. You still have your Aero, right?
Later bro, jon

heres the paint i used. red of corse lol. i applied it in stages. once i got the last coat on, i kicked on my torpedo heater and got my garage to almost 140*. let the paint bake on the frame for hour. came out awesome. i plan on keeping it for a while. as for my aero, no i sold that a couple years ago. i got $800 for it. heres a couple of pics cleaned up some.

That came out real good Jay for a rattle can. It almost looks as if was sprayed at a paint shop

Hey Jay what are you using to remove the old rust and paint from the wheels?
Also for the tires the OG 4.50-6 tires have long been discountinued, but the 4.50/5.30-6 tire size is a perfect fit. I have a pair of ChenShing on my Gyro.
