[DeTomaso] Repainting original wheels

[Dickruzzindesign at aol.com]

Argent silver is a generic term for silver in the trade. A great neutral 
silver, neither reddish or bluish, is a color called Thunderbird Silver that for 
years has been the brightest most metallic looking silver. There are other 
products now in the market that use glass beads, pearl, etc.

You can also buy at the paint shop paint additive that is anti-chip, to 
protect the wheels from stone chips.

I would strip the wheels of all paint, spend a little time tuning up the 
surfaces and then coat the tire side of the rims with some kind of leak prevention 
material. I bought some in a spray can. It will fill all the pores and 
prevent leaks. 

Then if you set the valves in with a good silicone seal you will never have 
to add air to your tires.

Also, have your tires mounted at a shop that has the new tire mounting 
equipment that does not touch the rim and your new paint.

All the best, Dick Ruzzin.
