I would really like to re-paint the wheels on my 116 this winter while I have her put away. They look kind of shabby and the lug bolts could use to be replace from being rusty and such.
Have any of you repainted your wheels, and if so, what did you use? I was talking to someone on the other forum a while back, but can't seem to find the thread. He had purchased something that was specifically for MB wheels. I remember everyone saying DO NOT JUST PRIMER THEM! It's the wrong shade and they will look bad.
So, if any of you have any suggestions or tips, I would love them. I am also planning on getting new tires this Spring. Should I have the tires put on the rims and balanced before or after I paint them? (They will attach weights to the outside to balance them).
Thanks,
