Spoke with the guy at my local autobody refinish supply, about refinishing the R model wheels. I asked specifically about durability of finish, and he recommended a 3-part paint system that I'm familiar with using epoxy primer. I've used epoxy primer on steel body panels before, but not on aluminum wheels. Does anyone have an opinion on the three-part system, when applied to an aluminum part?
Also, he said that the wheels appeared matte or semi-matte finish. I thought they were originally gloss. I had a FMS sourced set of R58s on a 1995 Cobra from 1998-2003 that were gloss finish, from what I remember. Which finish is correct for the wheels?
