Title: 67 ten spoke reconditioning
Post by: Sixx7shelby on July 22, 2018, 05:51:48 PM
Can anyone tell me how the original 67 ten spoke finish was? Were they just machined finish on the lips or cleared? Just trying the best way to freshen them up and is it something I could duplicate myself.

Thank you
Dave

If you can find a clear coat to mimic the original let the world know

Thin coats has worked for me on a super clean wheel.

There is a fisheye eliminator product sold at auto paint stores, but repeated cleaning of the surfaces with wax and grease remover will usually do the job.
