I finally tracked down a red wheel. For paint and stain are there any recommendations besides Scott Drake red dye and the red metallic paint that NPD sells?

Remember especially for the pad, that its all about the prep. Clean the surfaces 5 times, rinse well and for the pad use a promoter as well (if your buying paint not cans) use a flex agent in the paint.
