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: metal filler
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.
