Okay guys...thanks for engaging so far, but for some reason, I'm not getting through with my question...
Mark, yes.....I would need to paint the rim "half" ( the "ledge", as it were) the same as the spokes, leaving the "rim" ( portion closest to the tire sidewall and an "extension" of the sidewall) untouched. Which brings me back to this core issue:
- does one paint right over the anodized ( rim half) surface?
- can a combo of self etching primer and TSP work over this portion. If so..in what order?
- or does the anodizing have to be removed first...before such surface prep?
Others....note that I'm working with a mid 80's wheel in nearly perfect shape...I understand the black spokes can be scuffed and prepped before (silver) paint. The uncertainty is the remaining anodizing on the rim half.
Autoxracer....let me understand clearly....you did this on a "previously polished" rim or an OEM anodized finish ??
