Were the rims of the G gray/silver or were they galvinized?

Whenever I have a rim to redo, after it's really,really clean I give it 2 coats inside and out over 2-3 warm,sunny days.I figure if I don't do a GREAT job now, I'll have to look at it for the rest of my life. ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

We had the front and rear rims regalvanized & they look great! Did the same with my "CA" rear rims several years ago and they still look great. ------------- Thanks & God Bless Dennis |

ibleeorange. Your not far away from Rockford. Can't rememebr the outfit's name but it's a coating company I used several years ago to cold galvanize my G rims. Did a great job.

No but I'll see what I can do. Give me a day or two. Cold galvanizing is the original finish so they look just like they did when new. Also much more durable than paint. ------------- '34 WC #629, '49 G, '49 B, '49 WD, '62 D-19, '38 All Crop 60 and still hunting! |

This is the galvanizing done by Rogers when I received them back & then several years later when they turn to the final penta! (spelling may be wrong)

| Hello Ibleedorange Just a thought, My local Pomps tire will sandblast and power coat wheels up to 24". I had a pair of 34" wheels done else where. I don't think I will sandblast and paint anymore wheels, power coat is a better way. |
