Default Duplicolor wheel paint... on the body???

I was just tossing around some ideas and reading stuff about painting rims... for the heck of it. I won't be painting my fresh white slips anytime soon.

I was thinking, why is this stuff considered "wheel paint"? Is it some how more durable than regular duplicolor stuff?

Right now my car is primered black so there would really be no loss. Do you guys think spraying my car w/ black duplicolor wheel paint would work?

Putting on A/C'ed flame suit, just trying to think outside of the box.... WAY outside.

you can't find anyone shoot paint for you? Wheel paint is a waste , small cans won't cover enough...if youre that hardcore you might as well rent a compressor and a garage, bam . I could try to find someone who could help you out. If no, no biggie. Got pics of ur 4th gen in primer?
btw no flame necessary...

Haha... i have an air compressor.. and i have a garage. I guess I was just being a bum.

Where are you located? What kinda price would I be looking at to get my rex sprayed if I fully prepped it? I was just thinking about prepping/stripping it down and sending it to Maaco for just the spraying.
