Post subject:  Pinch weld question
It's pretty clear that I'm gonna have to pound the pinch weld to get these new tires to not rub. The only issue is it's winter now and I would assume i'd need to paint the area after I beat on it with a BFH. Any suggestions for treating/painting in the cold?

well since you should have a heat gun to heat up the plastic to bend it, then after you beat the area over heat the metal some and spray away with a can of paint that has been inside

That was my first thought. I just didn't know how long I'd have to keep the area warm afterwards (I hope not hours). Any recommendations on what paint to use?

Sorry, not a paint guy by any means.

If the metal is warm ( not hot to the touch) it will dry fairly fast, you could take the heat gun at a distance and just blow hot air over it for a little while, won't take long.

Or just talk to your buddy about the upcoming Super Bowl, be enough hot air then to keep the whole KJ warm :roll: :ROTFL:

I seem to always have a can of undercoating around and use that
