Pink isn't a common colour!

Clean them down, remove all the tar, sand them down, MAKE SURE THERE DRY BEFORE YOU START SPRAYING ANYTHING, mask of the tyre, prime them, spray them, laquer them! Take your time and do light coats. I'm sure I can take a day to pop out and give you a hand if you need it

Unfortunately I'm not able to get insurance for the mini until at least October..as that was my only reasonable option due to the costs...one quite was for 9k!

Could have got dirt in the fuel during rebuild, did you fit a fuel filter, or just a loose connection on the ignition system ,did you change points?
