Have had my reverse rims powder coated (yes! I chose white, not OEW!) and I’m still left with some staining at the joint in the rim, despite being blasted prior to coating.

Don’t really want to use silicone, but wondering what I could use to put a nice bead of ‘something’ just to finish them off.

I would get them sorted by the painter. Sounds like poor prep.

I agree with the above, if they've been Acid dipped instead of shot blasted there shouldn't be any rust (I assume that's what the staining is?!)

Media blasting can leave rust particles behind

Powder coat may not be able to adequately seep into the gap.Lay the wheel on its side and run some cavity wax into the join.Steve..

Thanks guys.
the wheels were acid dipped as well as being blasted. 
in all other aspects the powdercoat is perfect. 

It’s right at the depth of the join and I was thinking it was just down to the wheels rather than prep..?

is cavity wax coloured? Or could I use sikaflex or something white to finish them nicely?
