One of the older guys in a local body shop is working on our 50 3100 which has
deluxe trim etc and striped wheels. He said he used to have a set-up he made
himself to do just what you are talking about but has no idea where it is these
days. I don't know what we will do at the wheel painting point but we are
keeping this one pretty much original which is not normal for me. He said the
wheel rotated and the brush was stationary.
