The annual autumn showers have arrived. Only a month late, but the farmers in the wheatbelt will be relieved!
Rims
I decided to do something about the steel rims used when going on outback trips. I have nine. Five for the 4WD and four on the trailer. The rims were purchased second hand and are rather battered.
All the rust and old paint was removed using a wire brush which took the rims back to bare metal.
They then received three coats of primer followed by three topcoats of gloss charcoal grey
Silver primer
I started the process by masking between the rim and tyre using duct tape. That seemed a waste of tape. Subsequently I discovered a different method using colour sample cards from the paint shop.
My first completed rim.
The tyre now needs blacking
Only eight more to completed.
