Silver rim paint on Farmall

560Dennis · May 21, 2022

I cant see much difference in silver and the rust o elem aluminum.
I used aluminum on the inside of new powder coated rear rim on Farmall C to touch up shipping scratching.
Whats your opinion?

i use the rustolum aluminum gloss rattle can, paint out of the quart with a brush , or mixed and sprayed out of a gun. last a very long time and can be readly touched up years down the road and still matches and blends in well

The color is probably alright. The problem you will have is the polyester coating almost nothing will adhere to it.

Used a 120 wet dry paper sanded it to remove prior rinkles ,brush waves,runs , , older rim has rivets ,not welded loops . But its a 9 inch, other side was rusted out was 8 inch .
Ill prime it with red rust oleum and sand it smother, that smooth out some pits to.,think it will look presentable

Sprayed aluminum test of x o rust on the rim after sanding with wet dry 120. Didnt like it magnifies the chips and pits. So I stopped , sprayed some rusty oleum primer on the rim .The primer lifted and ran at the small area where the aluminum was spayed ,ugh ! Dont mixed x o rust and rust oleum, ? More unnecessary work
