rust on my rim
I'm prepping my rims for powder coat, and the inside of my front rim has a very healthy layer of rust. I'm going at it with a wire brush, but what can I do to make sure it doesn't come back and affect the powder coat?

If they are good powder guys, they would do that anyway. I was going to suggest ketchup and aluminum foil. You heard me right. Ketchup and aluminum foil.

but i've used ketchup on the rust and the aluminum foil just like you would use the steel wool. Works dandy...... |
