The bolts are just there to hold it until the paint dries. Once dry, it will form one solid functioning unit. Stop, go, spin. All one seamless orange piece.

As such, the bolts do not require the same level of detail.

Looks better than black rims. Just don't cut the plastics like a quad guy.

This has to be a joke.
Fair is foul, and foul is fair:
Hover through the fog and filthy air.

It’s the worst when they paint over the engine info placard. Makes finding filter part numbers interesting.

I do have to say , I'm impressed the tire was removed to paint the rim since masking tape is clearly banned where ever that was painted.

Used to spray over rotors when doing a brake job back in the day. Of course that was before they got turned, so the paint came off in the lathe. Nobody seems to turn rotors anymore, sadly. Seems a shame to just swap them out when they can be turned so easily.

Seems to me like the bearing seat could use a coat to keep it tight.

Not sure they even did that. It’s powder coated so would that even stick to rubber?
