I picked up this wheel for a $1.00 on ebay and would like to get it looking as good as possible. Is there away to fix the nicks and cuts in it(bondo?) and can I then just give it a few coats of black spray paint? |
| Xiaou2:
Sounds like it would work like that. Just make sure to use something very durable like an Epoxy based paint... and lay down several coats. Allow it to cure fully for a few days before touching it. |

Sounds like a plan, thanks. |
| Xiaou2:
Ohh, almost forgot.. After the bondo work... you may wish to scuff sand the wheel first, so that the paint will adhere to it better. Then use a cleaner, like rubbing alcohol, or naphtha? to make sure there are no surface contaminates / hand oils...etc. Hand the wheel by a string or something so that you can spray it freely, and not have to worry about touching / moving it. If coats look a little rough when dried, you may need to use high grit sandpaper before laying down another coat. When its completely cured, if needed, I think you can even lightly polish the epoxy paint. |

Will do, thanks again. |
