Ok. so here are the details:
I have 5 matching 14" 914/6 fuchs that i bought last year from LukeM for my 75 2.0 and did the 5 lug conversion last year. About 6 months ago i experimented with the pour method of painting them rather than taping them off. It worked great! -level the wheel, tape off the back and pour the paint until it comes up to the level you want, then poke out the back thru the holes betweent he pedals and it drains out. let dry and cure. - problems i found: if you use and enamel, and i used a rustoleum gloss black enamel, it needs to be thinned out or it will take for ever to cure. also i found that i should use a hardening agent like japan dryer, which will cause a faster chemical cure not a slow drying . What i am wodering is this: is there a better type of paint that would cure fast and be durable? one that can be poured? my spare is done and looks great but #2 wheel will use same paint and thinned down, and curing agent used -- unless anyone has a better idea? |
