Guys,
What's the best way to go about restoring rims for an MV? I'm looking at
the wheels on my M100, and several spares I have in the garage...

Should I leave the old tire on, and have the rim sandblasted, primer,
and painted? To leave the inside (where the rubber meets) clean and
smooth? (and replace the tires with MV NDT after the process)
Or should I take the tire off so all parts of the rim get blasted,
primer and painted? Being that it's a tube tire, I don't suppose getting
a seal on the rim is very important?
I'm going to have most of the work done this weekend if not very early
next week.
Additionally, I'm considering cleaning up my M100, and putting on a coat
of Semi-Gloss OD #24087 for the time being to keep it clean and preserve
it longer until I can get all the parts to restore her correctly.
Currently she has a camo scheme paint job coming right out of the
Montana National Guard. Should I bother to maybe try to save that paint
job? Would it bother anyone if I did it over in solid OD? Comments
thoughts? I'll probably paint her this Sunday or not...
