Painting RC wheels

[Peter Hunt]

Greetings all,
I know this is not the preferred way to refurbish wheels (should be anodized?) but I have a spare front wheel that needs a freshen up – does anyone have a paint code for the RC wheels, and any tips? I’ll do the rear while I’m at it.
The front wheel on the bike has a baddish buckle in it.
Thanks

Hi Peter, Ive never seen paint codes for the gold wheels, however I do remember reading an article that said even when new the gold anodization on the wheels (atleast RC) was not exactly the same shade. Being hand build, they did have slight individual differences even from new. Not like we expect today.
Maybe others can add to this.
Regards,
JohnS
