Re: painting torque thrust wheels
How about just making them correct as per the originals: bare cast (glassbead works that crappy paint off) and send them out to high polish the outer rim (getting rid of the machining rings). That is the right look, just did a set and they are killer. I called American a few years back and they wanted to argue with me that all Torque Thrusts including T70's were painted battleship gray spokes originally. I purchased my first new set in 1971. The man arguing with me was born in 1974. Case Closed.
