Default Re: Suggestions for Fiske FM5 refinish/paint

I was able to catch up with John at Ye Old Wheel Shop and we had a great discussion on options. The decision has been made, I am going to have the centers polished and not painted. Attached photos are how they are now with the barrels painted and the lip polished and centers.....well, not up to snuff. We thought the centers would clean up but the years of sitting outside took a toll on the finish and they need work. I considered painting between the spokes which would have saved a total of $250 but at this point, go big or go home. I am sure I will be happy when they are completed. Ye Old Wheel Shop does outstanding work. Just ask the wheel guru Robert DeMarco
