"he couldn't read the tire sizes (I did ask)," Ask him if he can read the names of the tires. The two Hilsens and the Goodrich have Compass/Rene Herse tires on them with a clearly readable label. The name of the tire guarantees the size. Barlow Pass, Snoqualmie Pass, Babyshoe Pass, etc.

You cannot paint polished parts and have the paint stick well - polishing makes the surface too smooth for the paint to grip. In my mind. if you want silver, especially polished silver, any type of coating beyond waxing defeats the whole purpose of polishing. Cleaning polished parts is easy.
