Rolls-Royce 20/25 - more on wheel weights
Whoever was responsible for painting these things needs standing against a wall and shooting! These are the covers for the wheel weights and they have been coated in thick primer-filler and then black paint. Whatever substance it is, it is like trying to flatten-off mud. |

The only quick way to remove this awful mixture is to mount the covers in a press drill and cut off with a sharp blade and then polish with emery cloth. The wheels are black with stainless spokes so the covers need to be black. |

The priming process. Furthest away are the conical top-washers that sit above the weight covers; then the base washers that clamp against the wheel rim to support the weights; nearest are the weight covers. 15 of each part: 45 in total. Two priming coats, preparation, top coats and baking. |
