Inside my newly sandblasted wheels-what to do?

Soundguy

I found a set of original Ford scripted front wheels at my local boneyard. I wire wheeled them inside and out to get the rust out (sandblasting would have been MUCH easier). The insides were corroded and rough as well, but solid. I sprayed mine with a thick coating of phosphoric acid after I wire wheeled them to stop any small amount of rust hiding down in the pits and cracks. Then I put a good thick coat of enamel paint on the inside and out - that should work.

I do like the idea of using the truck bed liner paint. I would still coat in phosphoric acid though to stop the rust.

Good luck,
Dan

The proper way to protect your rims is to sandblast, prime and paint them inside and out.

Over the past winter I did this to 6 front and 8 rear rims. It is a lot of work but the rims rust from the inside out and you cannot protect them unless you do it.

If the insides of the rims have been sandblasted you can use glyptol in place of paint to coat them. Glyptol is thicker than paint and will help to cover over the pits.
