What's my best way to restore a set of Road Wheels? Get them blasted and then what colors for them? What black is correct for a 70 Challenger. What about the chrome look.
I done a few in the past,for the amount of effort...just order a new set from Wheel Vintiques, one less chore to do in the restoration of your vehicle...then sell the beat originals to the next guy who has to learn the hard way

This kit would work. It is essentially the same as what I used except it has masking for the circumference - not just the spokes. Less follow up masking with the blue tape.

That looks like a good deal - save a lot of time. Is the kit good for only 1 wheel?
So $42 for 4 wheels - for the amount of time it would save, I think its well worth it!
The kit has enough for The spokes on five wheels
