Really nothing that you can do paint wise that will hold up worth a dang. It will just chip off if you hit it with a stick. New rims are reasonably cheap from the drum supply companies, just buy a couple of new rims and be done with it.

Well it all depends on just how bad the pitting is! you may be able to clean if off, now some will say not to use exta fine steel wool..but I did just that with the help of a CLR solution to loosen..and there have been No after-effects..
Enjoy the Music!

I think tremclad would be the best paint for your rims. Just a suggestion cause it seems to work on all meals.
Hi,
Thanks for the suggestions. The chrome in some areas is actually chipped away (not just pitted) revealing the surface below, whatever that is.
I guess replacing the hoops are one option. do you think it is worth getting some paint or polish or is it really a waste of time?
Ok,
can anyone point me in the direction of a website that sells replacement rims - im finding tough to find one.
my snare is 14" with 6 lugs....
Thats great,
can anyone point me in the direction of a website that sells hoops in the UK? Finding it difficult to find one.
cheers
man i have went back and worth on this and i have not found a paint that will hold up for long your best bet is to
1. get new rims you can get them powder coated in almost any color you want or to get them in a colored chrome
2. if you have a mini da get a buffing pad and some 2000 grit sand paper and some mothers mag wheel polish and polish the hell out of them it will work but if it is mega pitted this will not work if they are true chrome cause the brass and nickel will shine thru
3. i have not tryed this but some ppl on here say that using coke and aluminum foil will work
best of luck
