Rim Job

Today worked on getting rims ready for paint, 2 of them have been primed & painted, two need to soak another day or two in the phosphoric acid solution and one is rust free and needs the old paint blasted off tomorrow.
I also worked on my 60gallon air compressor, the tubing to the pressure shutoff keeps blowing out (bursting) and the only thing Lowes carries in 1/4" is 130psi, (my compressor blows to 150psi) also it gets so hot coming straight off of the compressor the tubing feels as if it's about to melt(which probably adds to the blowout problem) So I may have to special order some heavy duty piping before I can use it again... seriously thinking of running copper tubing far enough from the compressor for it to cool off before the plastic tubing...



pretend there isn't a typo in painted...
