Paint for wheels
I've just got my Bedford TK wheels shotblasted and primered. They're big steel wheels which I now need to spray. I've got a
compressor and spray gun that I've used many times before with cellulose paints, I'm after a decent paint to use. It needs to give good
protection and not chip too easily. I don't know much/anything about non-cellulose paints. Colour requirements: blacker than satan's black
bits.
Also if anyone knows where to get tyres for older trucks that'd be great. Size: 8.25R16, need inner tubes etc.

File off any sharp edges and etch prime and then 1 dust coat and 2 full coats of chassis black, 20 mins appart
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

i painted my chassis and trailer with machine paint after some advice from a welder chappy,
you can thin it down for spraying and its brilliant for not chipping.
altho i brushed it on the trailer and its as good a finish as my chassis.
