Ive painted a fair few in my time. Its Okay but powder coating is the better option.
Halfords paint is fairly decent tbh though. Thats the only thing I buy from there haha
I'm currently looking into Powder Coating. Found it for £35 a wheel.

Probably explains the tat on his car lot.....
would it be a good idea to put a thread up of a List of flooded areas 2013/2014?
then in a few months when they come up for sale cheep people know to double check ones if they are in or come from these areas

Searches should bring that up shouldn't it? And if asked the seller would have to disclose that.
Is this much moisture normal 
Or is it signs of HG gone and coolant going through the engine and out of the exhaust?

Be careful if you're powdercoating forged wheels; plenty of people with MX5s (but not all AFAIK) have had their standard forged Enkei wheels crack.
Dunno, the video is 2-3 years old, and I've just found it again. Never did find out if its normal, but its a Rover 25 with K series engine, turned out head had a crack in it, radweld was used, and then turned the oil to jelly

Know the cars dead now but my car does similar, but only on short trips, the hot gas condensing on the inside of a cold exhaust so you end up with water dripping out the tail pipe until the pipes heated from end to end. It's alot more noticable on cars where the tail pipe is straight out the back.
since when can you play snake on youtube vids?!?
Years
What's that for? I genuinely didn't know you could...
Thats because I didn't know you can and want you to tell me how
Ohh while its loading up, press your arrow keys
on a computer mind you. Well I'm on win7, with chrome and I can play snake even when the vids on I didnt even know you could im off to try it ... Wait its not april is it?
cut them in half and count the rings.
once they get to about 2-3 they don't change much, binks kids are all 8 and a half now and still look the same as they did 5 years ago
