farmer 1,075 #1 Posted January 15, 2017 Hi Redsquare, not been around for a while...happy new year, and I hope your all doing well. I am in a quandary, l was lucky enough to buy another set of rear weights for my mowing horse. As you can see they need some paint, so..... Do I go with the red (which I really like) but which will not match the front rims, or maybe try silver.....just to shake things up. I know, I've not got enough on, but thought I'd throw it out there for members opinions. Thanks. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,706 #5 Posted January 15, 2017 After looking at the horse for quite a while...if you keep the silver rims...how about matching the maroon decals with the weights?? I am thinking that maroon and silver theme would be carried through out the horse. BTW...Red is not faster...unless you went to the University of Indiana. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JimmyJam 542 #13 Posted January 16, 2017 Red is the color that I have seen; but your choice: I have also seen black weights. I have newer black plastic weights filled with cement with WH Logo that fit my 1974 B-80 that works! If it gets the job done, then who cares what it looks like! Done! Job accomplished! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JAinVA 4,619 #15 Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) The plastic covered WH factory weights were black so just don't paint um green or yellow and no one will protest.JMHO JAinVA Edited January 16, 2017 by JAinVA 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylvanLakeWH 25,490 #16 Posted January 16, 2017 Leave em and call it "patina"... Less work, no chips and frankly - they are wheel weights...Think about that for a minute and weigh (pun intended) the need to paint them... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmsgaffer 2,043 #18 Posted January 16, 2017 Black with silver or red wheel horse lettering... Black looks good with a weathered WH. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

farmer 1,075 #21 Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) Well this was the colour combination I settled on, having highlighted the silver weights with red I then 'had' to do the the same for the red set (highlighting in silver). I still think the red looks better, but the silver front rims, engine block and wheel horse logo just about let me get away with it. Sorry but I just couldn't bring myself to go with black.
