Best Paint for 69 Rally Wheels

[Jeff Murphy]

I'm sure this topic has been discussed before, but I can't seem to find it...

What is the best product/supplier for painting 69 rally wheel fronts and backs?

Thanks,

Good question, Jeff. I'm considering powder coating mine...anyone ever tried that?

I had some SS wheels powder coated. The powder coating can not prevent rust from starting in the crevice where the center section and the rim are welded together. So after several years, when the rust started looking pretty bad, I had to have the wheels baked in an industrial oven to burn the coating back off. I'm going to stick to paint from now on.

We usually shoot on a coat of dp50, and then spray on Dupont centari with hardener. Seem to last pretty well although is a bit to shiney for purists. Schonye
