I'm finishing up phase 1 of my 3.2 conversion (engine, cooler, brakes, etc.) but didn't have time this winter to put on the steel flares, so I'm going to put on a set of cookie cutters and drive it this summer. When winter arrives, I'll probably install the flares and repaint the car.
Until then, I'm going narrow body with cookie cutters (from 1974 911). The wheels are in bad need of paint/refinishing (blue is showing through the silver paint). I am debating with myself which color to go (silver or black). The car is silver and I just don't know if silver wheels would be too much silver. Black would probably look cool and make the wheels disappear (like black center fuchs do). I am also considering paint type. I could rattle can them, or I could take them to work and powder coat them. If I use rattle cans, then I can strip off the paint easily and refinish them a different color. If I take them to work and powder coat them, it becomes hard to strip the paint, it's hard to touch up and it will have the slight "orange peel" look that all powder paint has when it is cured. I am also unsure of how to pretreat the wheels for powder coating. In either case, I am going to bead blast the wheels prior to painting. Any advice is welcome. |
