rust pits in steel wheels

4020 · Jun 22, 2008

How is the best way to fix heavy rust on rear flat steel wheels with rubber lugs for a B JD. I was afraid putty might shake lose. Welding would take forever. But I want it to look nice. Thanks for any ideas. 4020

Depending on how deep they are , they make some heavy duty primers that will cover up alot of defects then a couple of coats of paint. Probably the best you can do, the stuff is pretty old, it will just add character.

Sandblast, then a coat of epoxy primer. The apply the bondo over that. Sand it smooth with a jitterbug, or 5 inch vibrator, primer/surfacer, sand and paint.
I've done three set of 38 inch wheels. Not an easy job but they look better than new.

Body filler will not come loose if applied correctly. Stan
