Good job getting all the rust off. I have found hammer pounding, chiseling, scraping, and also using a big sawzall blade hand scraping can pop off lots of rust. Those blades are sharp hardened steel, great for scraping rust bubbles off of steel. Then coat 3 coats of white BullsEye 123 primer and spray what color you want holds up ok, without having to get every bit of rust off.
That’s how I do it. Now you can get paint & primer in one and save a few coats and $. It lasts long enough until you need a new tire, and a tire/rim combo is cheaper than a new tire and mounting.
mine are too rusty chunks and flakes of rust I dont trust them they only last about 6 years I just bought new 13 inch on rims and tire amazon for $97 for the pair
To be completely sure, he should have removed the tire and cleaned the entire wheel, treated it with an anti-rust compound and then primed and painted the entire wheel. Compressed air going into the tire contains moisture that will continue to aggravate any rust inside the rim. This was a cheap cosmetic job that won’t last.
Nice work but the rims are so cheap he time you buy the pain it's been all that time doing that you could buy each rim for 50 60 bucks I'm guessing the paint is going to cost you around 50 so come out your pocket another 60 plus getting new rim on Tire another 20
One can of primer and one can of paint will do several rims. Now you can get paint & primer in one. Less than $5 at Walmart. Changing tires on these rims is a PITA. I’ve been buying the tire & rim combo for not much more than the tire, and less than the cost of a new tire and mounting. But if you don’t need tires, this makes a huge difference in the appearance of your trailer.
