Wheel Restoration Georgia

Clean wheels are one detail that separates the real automotive enthusiasts from the wannabe crowd. When restoring an older muscle car in Georgia, the factory-correct stylized steel wheels can be brought back to a concours showroom condition in an afternoon with little more invested than some elbow grease and a few rattle-cans of spray paint.

Clean wheels are one detail that separates the real automotive enthusiasts from the wannabe crowd. When restoring an older muscle car, the factory-correct stylized steel wheels can be brought back to a concours showroom condition in an afternoon with little more invested than some elbow grease and a few rattle-cans of spray paint.

While doing a show-quality restoration, many musclecar owners are confronted with wheels that are pitted or rusty to start with. To maximize new paint adhesion and ensure its longevity on these worst-case-scenario surfaces, media blasting is the first step. Many restorers then paint the wheels. However, this requires that the tires be hand-mounted—tire-mounting machines will scrape the fresh paint from the top edges of the rims, defeating the restoration project. If the wheels are media blasted, a light coat of primer will suffice as a rust inhibitor until paint can be applied.

Cleaning the wheels is the first and most important step before painting. You will need Brillo or SOS-type soap pads, Scotch-Brite pads, Simple Green or a similar degreaser, 400-grit wet/dry sandpaper, and a hose.

- Responsible Driving And Vehicle Care Georgia

Being responsible means driving with care, using your blinker, stopping completely at stop signs, stopping for yellow instead of speeding up, checking both ways always and it also means taking care of your vehicle.
