    Bumping an old post.

    I just bought the VHT wheel paint. Are the wheels you have on your 80 series alloy? If so, did you prime them after scuffing? Did you scuff them up?

    Or maybe I should just ask, what was your prep before paint?

    Front brakes are done. New pads are nice. Also sold my Autana RTT to a guy here locally. I'll be replacing it with a different tent to match the Grey Ruggedized on the trailer. With two tents I don't need the annex anymore so the Autana went bye-bye and the new tent will be one without an annex.

    I changed my rack because the factory one was leaking. Seals were going out on it and the ITR's were getting loose. If you have slop in the internals or the rack is leaking, it's a good time to replace the rack.
