Easy
Rust Oleum #7270 Gold Rush Metallic Pull back on second coat to dull up. Simply scuff, clean with ETOH and start paint. Come on, just tape off what you don't want hit, easy....... Changed mine from grey to gold in about 30 min, lasted 3 yrs till I sold the car, still perfect from pics I get. Original cars were mostly hand painted after Dow#7. These cars are simple don't make it harder than it is.......... Jeff |
I think powder coat is better than painting, much more durable, these days most modern powdercoaters bake the wheel at a low enough temp no harm is done to the structure of the metal, its cheap to do also, im sure not as cheap as painting yourself.

Does anybody know who's blue Contemporary car that is?

I would go satin before gloss. Gloss highlights to many egdes on this style wheel.
Here is a pic being metalic gunmetal with a satin clear in powdercoat. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y122/leroy17/side.jpg |
Jeff. As I recall, the only ones that were gold were the sunburst wheels on the 427s. The standard magnesium wheels were the unpolished white cast of natural magnesium. I don't remember the gold until the sunbursts.

Jeff Frigo - That stunning blue Contemporary used to belong to Jeff Gagnon, aka 1985 CCX - he sold it a while back. He has "seen the light", and is now building a small block car. :D
Danr55 - I've seen a lot of Cobra wheels, and I don't recall ever seeing any gold-tinted Sunburst wheels. The only ones I have seen with a gold tint were the "Cobra II", or GT40 magnesium Halibrands, and some of the tri-bar knock-off spinners. regards, Jeff Burgy |
Sunburst in it's best...
