Hi there!
I want to do something with my rusty rims for my mustang (1988)
I read the articles and reviewed some Youtube videos. I want to do it myself. Well, I have the sand paper, angle grinder, good degreaser and this paint https://www.mrosupply.com/paint-painting-supplies/spray-paint/1385989_k01618_krylon/ The paint is intended for stoves, so it is high temp resistant. Can I spray it one cleaned rims? Or what else can you advise?
Thanks

Can you borrow a sandblaster? I used one to clean up the 10-holes on my first SSP (I did not remove the tires). Then I masked, primered, and painted them satin black. They turned out great. Be sure to remove the wheel weights. Once painted, you can get the tires rebalanced and have the weights attached on the backside of the rims for a cleaner look.
