ok i just did my first serious mod on my lyn fury.  
i say serious because th only thing i have done before this was small stuff like shimming.  
i satined it.  
flat rimmed it a little  
pushed the wall by the bearing back a little  
made IRG area flatter.  
and gave it slightly more of an angular shape instead of the rounded one it had.

and now for the question part.  
i got curious and was looking for a way to paint it, and figured spray paint and house paint would scrape off. so i used some paint that i bought when i painted my truck and was curious if you think this will work. i have already done it and will check it tomorrow to see if it has dried, but wanted to know your opinion

pics up. it looked good but then i sanded it to make it smoother because it was a little rough. the automotive paint has a little black running through it.  
it grinds beautifully. shown beside a dv888. give me some criticism. and i know it isnt perfect.
