Hi

I am looking for some advice. My MY13 XS has done 65000 miles and is in very good condition, however I have recently noticed a number of small areas (approximately the size of a fifty pence coin) on the barrels of the wheels. The faces of the wheels are unmarked. Should I clean of the corrosion, treat, prime and paint the barrels or have the wheels stripped and powder coated. Obviously the latter would be a lot more expensive.

If I go for the first alternative has anyone any thoughts on types of paint, primer etc.

Many thanks for any ideas and suggestions.

If its just localised corrosion I would sand it down to bare metal then give it a couple of coats of ETCH PRIMER then top coat of paint followed by several coats of laquer, 2013 FL2 XS.
