Best repair material is Milliput epoxy putty which is available in black, so no painting required.

Admittedly a later style wheel but I had one powder coated for £20 and it looks good, the coating is thinner than original but I thought it a good compromise if not for everyone.

Hi mark,

I've not tried this method yet.

But my local powdercoat suggested he can put the wheels through more than once to thicken the covering on the wheel.

Personally I've done a few wheels, small patches with body filler. And the local Woodyard stock a plastic coating paint.

None have failed yet.

Tony.

It’s probably sacrilege to mention replacing the original wheel with an aftermarket one such as a Bluemels.......but here goes ?. Has anyone done it on the later splined column and if so which hub fits it?
