not a big deal but thing is I am short on cash, honestly I am looking for a set of wheels I can have for $500 total including shipping.. yea I know thats a pretty lame budget but its what I got. He wants 700.

The trade would of worked out perfect because these tires are brand new and cost me the 700 he wants for his wheels. If I just buy them then I spent $700 on his wheels plus the $700 on my tires which ill get stuck with.

ill be $1400 in the hole.

With some good cleaning, you should be fine. I have used it on a few emblems and when I mess up, it peels right off like latex. I will PM you the part #, I'm on my phone right now.

Or you could do one wheel at a time. It doesn't take that long to dry.

When I did my emblem, I waited less than 5 min between coats. The thing was pretty dry after 30 min. Given this was a small emblem.
