Forgot to mention, while on the subject of past MR articles: there was a cool tools article a year and a half ago or so that had a really handy idea for painting trucks. Take a 1x2 and a 1x4, both cut about 26 inches long. Glue and screw the 1x2, small edge up, to the 1x4, right up the middle lengthwise. The 1x4 forms the base. Then tap in small finishing nails, small enough for the truck pivot holes to fit over, at 2 inch intervals along the edge of the 1x2. That's it! Just put the trucks over the nails, and you have a perfect truck painting jig. The 1x2 is just wide enough to hold the trucks in place so they don't move on the nails. You can do six sets this way. I made one myself and it's great!
