I though about repainting my Rostyles this winter. I noticed there is
a pronounced ridge between the silver area and the recessed black area.
I planned on doing the silver part first and not worrying about the overspray.
Then when it was dry, I would cover it all with masking tape. Then I would
trace around the ridge with a razor knife, leaving the black area exposed for
paint. Of course I omitted the appropriate preparation steps. Moss sells
the correct color silver paint, I think the black is less critical.
I don't know how well the masks work. They are the shape of the silver part
of the wheel. I don't see how they would seal tight enough to keep the black
from bleeding over, or from getting a nice clean line.
I've seen Rostyles painted all silver or all black and I think it ruins
them. You lose the distinctive look since the contrast is gone.
