They're painted with a 2 component ppg and the color is gun metal silver. I added a little hardener so they would resist roadwear and then clearcoated them. I am all for painting.

If those are original paint 914 LE rims, you might want to hold onto them. They have some value as a preservation piece, I'm sure.
Otherwise, if you're determined to repaint them... http://www.highway914.net/tech/wheel_painting.htm I haven't had any problems with the wheels, but next time I'd do the job, I'd use some type of etching primer. Hope this helps, Rusty |
