Oh, awesome! That sounds exactly like the wheel I have. Do you think I could go from red to black, or is it more of a just freshen up the same color type of thing?
I would think going to a darker color would be easier that vice versa. Just use enough to do the job and don't cake it on.
Yeah like in theory, I was thinking going to black would work. Glad to hear your perspective on it. Do you happen to remember what brand you used?
I can't remember off the top of my head. I'll have to check later to see. There's a post in the forums about a member using this type of paint to redye their blue stripe. I used the same company and paint. I'd do a search and see if it comes up.
Really appreciate all your help and input with this!
