Repair back of chrome rims

[LeakySeals]

I have a set of factory 17" chrome rims that came off the Escalade a few years back. Sick of wasting space in garage I put them up for sale on CL and getting a lot of requests for pictures of the back of the rims. Uh oh that's not dirt and grease its cancer! The Chrome in the back of 2 rims is peeling off.

I peeled it off and took a wire wheel to what looks like salt. Its grinded clean now. I want to prime and paint all 4 backs before I relist them on CL. Any advice on what to use? I was thinking some filler or putty to make up the difference in the Chrome holes, some rustoleum stops rust primer, and Rustoleum gray wheel paint.

After primer use a zinc rich paint. The color should be close and it should give you anodic protection.

Wire brush will not go deep enough. Get a small sand blaster and nuke out the pits. JB Weld will fill the pits very nicely. It can be sanded and painted. It will not let go from a well prepped surface.

I'd get something like a light silver and soot them with a spray gun. Do a good masking job, and they should look real good

If you need larger volumes, Devcon Liquid Aluminum is good too
