Hi
I have a set of re-pop fuch's I would like to detail, they are 4.5" and 5.5", just wondering at what height to mask the line to paint to.
Cheers
Jim |

Iozzio is building reproduction wheels. This is one of his 18" wheels for ideas.

If you're trying to imitate a geunuine Fuchs wheel then the paint comes up 1/16 or 1/8" from the mounting flange. _________________ On a lifelong mission to prove (much to my wife's dismay) that Immaturity is Forever!! |

I flooded mine up to the lip at the inner edge of the step, but I have 15x7s. Deep 6s and narrower are a little different. Personally I'd go a tad more than 1/8" like 1/4" which can be hard to judge.

Nice work JWP80.
Would that be 1/4" on the 4.5" and 5.5" wheels? |

I would do 1/4" either way. _________________ I have a German look bug, it was built in Germany and looks like it.

I was under the impression they were just dipped in a vat of paint? The lines are the same height,level from stars to lip. |
