Why do you need a write-up? Take the wheels off, clean them (I used soapy water followed by denatured alcohol), mask the tires and spray away. Put 3 + coats on. We aren't talking chemistry and quantum physiscs here.

I was just curious on how thick the coats should be and if I should take off the weights
