Hi guys,
I sent two of my original 16" rims out to be sandblasted. Got them back today and they look great. I intended to paint them ASAP.
However . . . my Dad said I could only paint the flat sides, since any imperfections in the paint could interfere with holding a bead down the road. (Personally, I think rust would be a huge imperfection, but that's just me.) Not wanting to have an intense family discussion at dinner, I thought I'd ask you all.
Can I paint my whole rim? It seems crazy not to. Also, on page 152 of the 1st edition of Tom Brownell's book, the rims certainly appear to be painted on all aspects.
Any advice is appreciated.
