Ovalrace25 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I am down to striping the disc wheels.. We have three sets of wheels, the Disc, Wires, and Artillery. The Disc set needs the multiple sets of stripes. I can see in many factory photos about where the stripes must go... At least that seems to be easy to figure out... But certainly would like input from others. HOWEVER, I am curious as to how it was done originally... Think about it, FOUR stripes all must be a very true circle and with absolute accuracy and maintain distance from the others.Anyone care to comment?

Guest dougklink Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Sure. As a guy who does gold lead and striping on the fire trucks I restore, I'd bet they had a plate that spun, like a record player. Set the disk down on it, turn it on, and lay your dagger brush down with a steady hand. Easy. You could also do it on the car by spinning the wheel, but that would be harder.Doug KlinkEstes Park, CO1936 1407 V-12 5 Passenger Sedan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovalrace25 Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 I did all of them on the car. used a Bugler and a steady rest I made up. Found it helped to tape a long stick to the bugler so I could steady it with both hands as a helper turned the wheel. I will post photos of the car soon.
