245/50/16 Yokohama Avid V4s. Very very nice tires.

The center caps are hard as hell to paint, I ended up painting them white, then hand brushing the red mitsu logo in. Taping out the logo was just too time consuming for my patience.
Alex - When you did this did you notice the paint spreading out in splotches (circles) even after you'd waited for the primer to dry? I can't figure it out. The only thing I can think of is the weather but we were lucky enough to have 36% humidity today. Its just in the 50's too and clear. Did I put on too thick a coat ya think?
