I'm going to get my spare wheel blasted and then repainted. Originally were they silver all over? The inside of mine looks original and it seems to be black and/or red undercoat. |

LP883 wheels were painted with a red oxide primer, then painted black. The silver was then painted on the outside only, you should be able to see the black/red on the inside of the rim. I have restored a number of these wheels and thats the way I repaint them, I belive this to be correct. |

Silver birch metallic 06968 Duco (acrylic) was a colour too, but you probably already knew that. |
