I did this twice. First time I just took them to be powder coated, they did
the sandblasting and finishing, they look great but are no longer able to be
trued, about $65ea.
Second, I had Hendrix Wire Wheel repaint a new set of gray Dunlop wires
before mounting the tires. Look great and they included extra paint to
touch-up after any truing/balancing that may be required in the future,
$80ea.
My advice if you are going to do this yourself would be to give Allen
Hendrix a call. He is a great guy and I now it would not bother him at all
to share a few pointers.
NFI,
Bill
