[AT] Wheel Paint

[rbrooks at hvc.rr.com]

I also recommend  POR-15 or Chassis Saver

Just don’t get it on any hardware you want to take apart in the future

On of them kept going flat so I finally took it apart yesterday - the mid mounted blade on the Cub had just enough downwards pressure to help me break the beads on both sides with some hammering to assist. The tube had several small holes in it, so I have a new tube coming from Amazon.

Just some Rustoleum paint, or something a bit more specialised like               Rustoleum Cold Zinc, or ?? Something I can brush on would be best since it’s too cold here in Michigan for any spraying from a can at the moment, I’ll have to lug the rim down into my basement and let it warm up there before painting it I guess.
