    Cheers Mick,

    My panel beater mate has just bought a big blast room and I am going to try that out in a couple of weeks.

    So the new set of rims I now have for the D110 (Reversed Disco again) will be blasted / primer / undercoat / 2 pack paint.

    I just need to find the paint codes for the Standard Disco Silver Rims.

    I have galvanised 2 sets of rims (109" and disco), and am just about to get a 3rd set done.

    If you are worried about an even coating, you can get them centrifuge-galvanised (dipped then spun to remove excess). But I just got mine dipped, takes 5 mins per rim to clean them up afterwards, and they balance fine (and work fine without tubes)
