|
|
I am about to take ownership of a vintage car which is fitted with the steel artillery wheels. The wheels would benefit from cosmetic attention so thinking about the sand blast and paint route.
Any links please as to who has the sand blast facilities, East Anglia region preferred.
Also I'm not sure wether to have the wheels repainted or stove enamelled, your thoughts appreciated. |

They'll almost certainly be powder coated these days, but make sure the firm is a good one that primers them first. Otherwise the paint flakes off prematurely but not before surface rust has begun underneath. |
