Thanks Steve

Given that the Black Oak wheels were quite rare, I'd have thought it was a bad idea to paint them over - unless it had faded to green? (which I believe they were known to do).

Might be worth stripping a little of the Rhodium paint off in one of the high wear areas to see how the wood is holding up, and if it's too far gone, painting it black can look real good too (see Alan's interior).


Cheers,
Karl.
