Hey guys, what product can be used as a filler for some minor scratches on a Mahle 4 lug wheel? They will get repainted when done.

Thanks,
Tod

If your going to powder coat over it a high temp epoxy filler can be used like: http://www.eastwoodco.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=577&itemType=PRODUCT&iMainCat=467&iSubCat=474&iProductID=577

though you may be able to use JBWeld as a filler or any other epoxy based filler with regular paint.

I just painted some Mahles using this procedure found on line. Part of the process is to use a filler spray to cover any nicks. Here is the video:

I've read where several people have used jb weld under powder coat. I know lab-metal works but it is expensive.
