| | | | | Anonymous Unregistered | | Anonymous Unregistered | Just finished media blasting some old aluminum rims and some finned alum valve covers. I want to paint this to match the truck. No powder coating! Is there a specific method of painting alum rims? Special primers/paint/clear? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | aluminum oxide primer - Rusteoleum & Hammerite have it - preferable to zinc chromate, the other choice
