I'm pretty sure Foose is an old hand at custom-mixing his own paints, and in other episodes of the show they have him on film doing it. A friend of mine, who is a partner in Rumble Customs, has met Chip Foose on several occassions and she swears he is every bit as genuine as he appears to be on Overhaulin'. I can't imagine designing a five-spoke wheel that wouldn't look something like another wheel that's already been done before. Should everyone stop doing variations on the design, or should they keep tweaking it?
