If a job is worth doing it should be done well and that means hand painting the whole job as I am using original Dunlop rims that is what she deserves.
I have it that the guy I found in Horsham is out of commission due to health issues. "Looks like I will have to do the job myself". I have treated the rust on the inside of the rims and gone over the whole inside with a preservative. I have masked one side of the hump with insulation tape. I have read that rubbing the centre with wet and dry will be sufficient preparation and that self etching duplicolour spray primer should be applied rubbing down between coats. and then epoxy rustoleum should be applied. how right is this and how is the pinstriping done ie; what sort of brush should be used and is it sufficient to do this over the edge of the black work. all this in the absence of finding a wheel painter localish to Surrey which I would much prefer; meanwhile the bike stand forlorn and wheel less in the garage.
