p.s: ignore the embarrassing little donught on the roof - its only up there cause I was hauling furntiture in the back and needed the space!.

Mine came with awful spray bomb gold, some wire wheelin, sanding. Both finished with clear coat, have a old swivel stool that I like to put items on and spin to get a fairly even paint coverage. Some before/after. About and hour per rim.
