Restoring the wheels for the 1966 Shelby GT350. I matched the color and texture of the paint to this original wheel and tire
All 5 wheels have been glassbeaded to bare metal
There was some light body work to be done to the rim of the wheel due to a previous owner having installed trim rings on the wheels
The backside of the wheels for the 1966 Shelby GT350 also needed some light body work for some minor rust pitting
The wheels have been epoxy primed
Epoxy primer on the wheels
The wheels have been sprayed with the correct gray color
The backside was also painted with the correct gray color
Starting to mask off the outer part of the wheel to spray the black inserts just as the manufacturer would have done
The wheels have been fully masked and are ready for the black to be sprayed on the centers
The black has been sprayed on the centers of the 1966 Shelby wheels
The black overspray from painting the front side was allowed to come thru on the backside of the wheel just as the manufacturer would have sprayed it
The wheels have been painted and sprayed with a flattened clear coat to protect the finish
Wheels have been clear coated with a matte clear finish
The backsides also have been sprayed with a flattened clear
