Bartomos is correct with his "sand to taste" comment: before I painted the grey on it I knocked the wheel down with some 220 as the initial surface was just a little too rough. Also as far as getting a "smoother" finish from the Line-X guy, yes, that may be possible as once I got to know "Joe" at the Line-X shop it appears that the rate at which it is applied determines the texture as evidenced by his experimenting on the underside of the running boards I had done at the same time: some areas were relatively smooth, other areas not so much. That stuff is very unusual: the 2 parts set up in 4 seconds after leaving the nozzle. And Uncle Brad, I only have 1100 miles on the truck, the surface still looks as good as when I just started using it...no indication of any wear at this point......
