Got all the rust off after 2 hours of angle grinding with a wire brush and flap disks. The new brush I got from KMS decided it would rather break apart and impale me. A leather welders apron would have been useful. I had to do most of the wire brush with my 30 lb museum piece grinder. She is old and heavy but nothing stops her - real torquey. The inner seam on the inside of the rims had what looked like a white caulking that was cracking up. Question, do I recaulk it with automotive seam sealer (still got quite a bit from my rustoration) or just fill it up with eching primer? Second question, what paint should I go with? I still have some cans of regular automotive enamel. However, I remember seeing a bumper enamel paint at Lordco which was supposed to hold up better to rock and sand.
