Man, I wish I had seen that Greg while I was in Dubbo. I am now home with 4 sandblasted and etch primed wheels with no paint.
Had the tyres pulled off and I have a 74,76,78 wheel and one wheel with made in the USA stamped on it. The 74 wheel is rat shit. Has had a crack welded up in the inner rim and I will use it for a spare. There is more than one way for a N66 wheel to be stuffed.
$25 to sandblast and etch prime each rim, $50 each rim(including the stuffed one).$300 total so far. Got to add paint to that when I get it.
They are the numbers i had and they could not find a mixing code for that paint,only a reference to it in old books. Is it me or the shop? I could not get the grey for the dash mixed up there either. Frustration levels are growing.
