Had some time off this week so I have been refurbing my front rims, this is the first one just needs bolting back together, should Finish the other one tomorrow.

Not that bad,i would describe it as more of a gouge that would only need very slight filling.

How I did mine,

First I rubbed the rim down with a fine scotch bright,this highlighted any pitting and dents.

I then welded the parts of the rim which were to deep to be sanded out and then I ground these bits down with a fine grinding disc 120 grit, I only used 120 grit on the outer edge of the rim after I used 120 & 240 grit on a dual orbital sander just to reshape the edge of the rim.

After this I started with 240 wet and dry and all grades in between up to 1200, I think it was 6, and finished of with autosol but will be trying what Si and bigman have recommended.

If you rims are not to bad then start with a higher number grit.

Also make sure you have removed all the sanding marks from the previous paper or the results will be very poor.

 

Good Luck Paul
