    A worker in protective gear (white Tyvek suit and blue nitrile gloves) is operating a spray gun or dispensing tool over a large metal wheel or rim. The wheel appears to be mounted on a rotating fixture, and yellow material (likely paint, primer, or sealant) is being applied to the center hub area. This appears to be an industrial wheel refinishing or coating operation.

    U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Jared Martrano, 22nd Maintenance Squadron aircraft structural maintenance specialist, demonstrates a wheel refurbishment stand developed by McConnell Air Force Base maintainers at McConnell Air Force Base, Kansas, Aug. 24, 2026. The stand uses interchangeable adapters designed for different aircraft wheel sizes and allows technicians to rotate a wheel 360 degrees and completely invert it for improved access and coverage during painting. Once painted, the wheel can be moved to a drying rack without contacting the wet surface, allowing technicians to immediately begin work on another wheel and increasing the number of wheels that can be processed.
