So I'm fairly confident that if I take my time, I'll get it. :mrgreen:

I am certain that you'll not only get it, but also do it well! Saving the wheel on that kid's bike made my jaw drop!
I just have to say also, that your signature has made me laugh so many times! Thanks!

Thanks, Galt! Coming from you that is a real compliment!

Oh, not much...Do some sanding on the wheels and prime for paint...Strip the frame for paint, polish the spokes and re-build the wheels... :wink: 'Ya know...Regualr Saturday night stuff! :lol:

sweet!!!

Thanks, my friend!! :wink:

What I got done today:
WOW! :shock: What a nice day in southwest lower Michigan!! I was wastin' time outside and so I didn't get much done on the Build-Off Bike...

Got the wheels prepped for primer: I knocked the finish down after being sandblasted...

After that I wiped them with acetone to cut any oils from my handling them...Then out to paint:

One down...One to go...

Here it is:

That's done...

Since I'm painting them white, do you think I need to apply a white primer/basecoat over the red oxide primer?? :?

 

[BillyOlds]

it would really be better to have at least a grey primer, but if you do a few top coats ull be fine i would think, just be consistant throughout with what you end up using so it will all look the same.

 

[deorman]

I'd say the white or grey primer would definitely help the white cover with less paint.

 

[TheFlyingDingo]

Dad allways told me light colors need light primer

 

[user 135]

Swing sets are the best paint stands.

Thanks! That's what I was thinking...I'll stop by the paint shop this afternoon.

Thats looking good Randy. I have clear coated blasted parts and it kind of looks like silver metallic. Too late for that bit of trivia though.

Thanks Gary! I was already committed to white wheels. But I'm definitely gonna try that in the future. I picked up some gray primer yesterday afternoon, so I can re-do 'em this week(end?).
