I'm tired of sanding and filling. There are a few little scratches in it. I don't know what the primer covers. I'm down to 320 grit with a couple of spots showing the remints of 220. I'm going to paint the darn thing and see what happens. I have to sand it anyway. I have a gallon of primer I can always just dip it a few times. I have been looking at old wheels and none of them are round unless they are real thick. When I put it on the spindle thingy I made for painting and turned it it's not even close to being straight. As most of us know there is a metal cup in the center of the wheel that the spokes are induction welded to. That cup bolts to the shaft. I changed none of this. I just changed the ring. I took it off the rack and did some checking. The metal cup is a full 6 degrees out of plane or out of parallel with the molded plastic center and the spokes. Once you know it's there you can see it in the molding. I'm not worried about it I just found it interesting. It's been really hot but we have a bit of a cool down tonight so I should have a window in the morning for painting. I had a professional spray booth installed in my shop. It's absolutely amazing how little overspray this turbine system puts out with a very nice finish. So it will all be my fault. Thank you for your time.
