MG Midget and Sprite Technical - wheel refurb

has anyone refurbed midget wheels ?

the previous owners have just went wild with a can of silver spray paint and they are all rusty now, idiots.

what would be the best method ( cheapest ) to get these wheels back to the way they were when they came out of the factory in 1975?

wires or Rostyles?

I did mine quite straight forward.

Wet & dry, wire brush to get rid of rust and old paint then respray with rattle cans. I got a masking kit from MGOC for my rostyles but would just use masking tape next time round and shape it with a craft knife.

If the tyres are still on use an old pack of cards wedged in between tyre and rim to mask it.

With care you can do a perfectly presentable job, I think MGOC will do exchange wheels for perfectionists.

I have just done mine i had them dipped and sprayed them myself and masked up the black bits not a hard job
