the weird results i got from my fit was that when i used duplicolor engine enamel primer, the matte black paint chipped off after one winter season.

when i did NOT use their primer on my previous fit, the paint did NOT chip off even after 5yrs..




yah, it's nice to have that option to clean it at home with no hose. for me it does not go any faster than washing the car with a hose and bucket, but at least i can store the car in the garage without worring about rusting my suspension bits and wat not. even with a blower, i cant get the water 100% out.
wire brush it is. However, I'm not sure I'll be painting because I would think putting paint on the hub centric ring and the center part that touches the back side of the wheel can cause vibrations because surface might not be perfectly even any more.
