"The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog. . . .He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer; he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. . . .When all other friends desert, he remains." --- George G Vest
Well, I screwed that up! Paint was perfect....Ended up using the Krylon Fusion for plastic...great match to the Blue and easy to use...no priming necessary. Thought I could modify the cover to fit the locking ring from the old tire cover that was damaged. Cut to the same size as the color keyed center piece but the curves were slightly different and now the new cover won't fit...it's too flat and won't work with the locking ring. Good idea...poor execution, although the cut was near perfect but it just doesn't fit. Oh well...into the garbage and in search of another new cover...Guess I should post in the FS/WTB section of the forum...Bummer...
