slammer302 2,154 #102 Posted September 6, 2015 You gave me inspiration to paint the wheels on the 502 yesterday. Then today i took my baby girl for a ride and got about a mile away from home it started running very bad i thought the motor was toast and it turned out to be the carburetor was almost falling off should of known it was the carb considering its a tecky.LOLHad to ride home with the hood up so i could push the carb against the block was not fun but it never gave up on me 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian01 481 #103 Posted September 6, 2015 lol those wheels really set it off that's for sure..yeah carb suckin more air than gas huh? lolin tons of pictures I see, ppl have white wheels and red lugnut heads...how do you keep them red when tightening them up with lug wrench , it always eats the paint off, when I do it.Gotta be a trick to it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slammer302 2,154 #106 Posted September 6, 2015 I use a small paint brush and touch it up after there put on but recommend using one of Bob's lug nut kits Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 36,945 #107 Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) Did I just read... you called Meynard a lug nut kit? http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/topic/55403-lug-nut-conversion-kits/ Edited September 6, 2015 by AMC RULES 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kudzu3 323 #109 Posted September 6, 2015 You can put a little masking tape around the nuts prior to tightening, it'll help some but will still require some touch up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian01 481 #110 Posted September 6, 2015 Maybe just take the bolts back down to metal n clearcoar them Oh okay kudzu, good idea....the site is a little slow, or my phone is one, didn't see your post until after I posted that...hmm 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JPWH 5,308 #111 Posted September 6, 2015 Those look nice. My wheels all look kind of pink. Thanks to this nice Georgia red clay, silver, white, or whatever always have a redish tint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian01 481 #112 Posted September 6, 2015 Thanks! yeah these turned out pretty good, cause they were smooth with no pitting or much rust, but patience is the key. Masking, light sanding with 320grit, 2 coats of primer, let dry for an or more, then light coat if almond, wait a few minutes, then another coat...let dry for a few hrs and wah-la!

Brian01 481 #119 Posted September 7, 2015 Well actually its almind, not white, dirty white lol..okay I may do it, I had so much trouble with it before, I dunno if I wunna sand it down again or not. LoL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slammer302 2,154 #120 Posted September 7, 2015 just give it a light scuff with sand paper and prime and paint should turn out good plus the almond white color does hide imperfections pretty good 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian01 481 #121 Posted September 7, 2015 Too late, light scuffin over the black and BAM....I may leave the bottom side black for now though, cause my seat spacer (2x4) is black. Too late, light scuffin over the black and BAM....I may leave the bottom side black for now though, cause my seat spacer (2x4) is black. It oughta be well protected anyway...at least 2 or 3 coats of primer, 2 or 3 coats of black, and gonna get a good couple coats of "antique white" 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
