    I'm confused...what got painted? The VX body, or some other part? For 22 hrs of labor, I assume something big.

    If your wheel tire combo have a different circumference than the stock ones, your MPG increase coould be misleading - ie, your speedo may be reading faster than it should - showing that you are going more miles than you actually are.

    I think your ride looks great - like the big rims! Did your ride change much, or the feel of it change? When I went with wider tires (which are heavier) I noticed quite a change in roughness and "feel". Did you experience that?

    hey lizardman,
    any chance you could ask your friend what brand product of paint, and clearcoat he used on your cladding. i am thinking of spraying my cladding, but not using a rattle can approach. wanting to use the spray rig, but dont know what to get,
    could you ask him, and post the answer here please.
    your ride looks great. be proud of it, and your work!!

    Thank you, Thank you I take great pride in my VX. I will ask the name of it again cause i forgot. As for the tire change at first turnin was a bit heavier like i was turnin with weights Lol but once i got used to it a few days later feels absolutly the same and rides the same. PS: I just hit 100k on my ODO Yahoooo!!!
