These are from a Black '63 Typhoon, are really nice and straight / round with only one little curb dent and going back on the Black Typhoon for a rider. Not really doing a completely original restore but close. I like the idea of having the original rims with the pin stripes but Im not married to using the exact same colors. New black spokes and nipples are on the way and the hub overhauls are done , rear is Bendix redband single speed.
Ive cleaned them up with an oxalate bath / carefully used rubbing compound but I think I want to try my hand at repainting them. Ive ordered the pin stripe stencils.
Ignore the white wall tire in the pic , I just through it on there to see how it looked. I may or may not go with it.
- If I were to go with the original colors, what is the white paint called, or is there a color I could get from the paint store that's super close?
- Any suggestions on custom colors?!!!
- How do you'all go about fixing the curb dent, pic below?
- What are the basic steps to doing this repaint job? ( Im a total newb! )
