removing surface rust and painting the wheels... 1800 1973

posted by  someone claiming to be SteveW on  Mon Mar 1 02:57 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I just finished doing the same job on the painted wheels on my 210. One recommendation I can make is to prepare the wheels for paint (sand, wirebrush, whatever), and then break the bead on your tires, but leave the tires on the rims. Its a lot easier to mask the tire if it is not mounted to the wheel. Once the wheels are painted and dry, you can reinflate the tires. Leaving the tire on the rim means you don't run the risk of damaging the new paint reinstalling the tires.
