If the spacing works out for your hub, you can always just rattle can it for under $20. Sand smooth, One can of primer, one color and one clear. Done properly it will look fine.

I finished my ’68 Schwinn Orange Krate with spray cans. Chevy engine enamel to be exact.





While I sandblasted my frame just because I own a blaster, hand sanding will work just as well, just take longer. I also finished with rubbing / polishing compound once it was fully dry. If you intend to try this yourself there is plenty of helpful info on the net. Oh, and any Fuji frame can’t be that bad.
