Painting day take two. This is what a polished turd looks like. Those wheels should have been thrown in the scrap pile but I decided to throw a coat of paint on them.

F- Yeah. Looks great. and on wheels whatever, right....


are you getting any heat into them to really cure the paint?

They spent most the day out in the sun and we got to 83 today. I also was heavy on the hardner.

They look great. I guess you won't be taking them apart with those screws painted over.

Oh, and be careful about the lug bolt mounting surfaces - these should either be stripped of paint or only really thinly painted to get the right torque.

Thanks Guys

The bolts are just for show and made out of a super cheap aluminum. The wheels are a one piece cast Chinese knock off. The wheels are semi-temporary and will never see a track or any kind of abuse. I bought them and didn't realize how cheap they were until I started to restore them.

Oh. Well now that they're painted you really can't tell. They do look nice. Let's see 'em mounted!
