Sorry to bore you even more with the rims, but here's how to paint the rims to get a good finish on the inside and an optimal finish on the outside. After filling the rust holes with spray filler and sanding off the rest till the steel, I applied a thinner layer of spray filler to achieve a more even surface, especially on the outside. The photo shows how many uneven areas still had to be leveled out. Due to the problem with the snap rings that have to be levered over the edge... the paint on this edge application should be kept as thin as possible. That's why I sanded off the spray filler around the edges of the rims to such an extent that the steel was just visible in the high places. These areas are then covered with a primer, which is suitable for painting directly onto steel.
Now comes the dark gray primer, as can be seen in the photos for the Fender and Body. This will be then finely sanded with 800m grid sanding pads to apply the top coat. Black satin matt on the inside and dark red like the body .. on the outside. The following steps for pin striping and final clear coat of the outside of the rims I´ll show in the following post.
