Can the Honeycomb insert be removed and then epoxied back into place? I don't want to "experiment" with any of my wheels, if possible. Thanks!!

If its just rust around the edges where trim rings go that can probably be cleaned up unless it is under the endura HC area too. But probably not a good idea to attempt removing the honeycomb then epoxy back in place, for all that work and unknown amount of rust underneath it would be cheaper & easier to find some nice used wheels and restore them. Doing it as HPP shows or countless others have done is perfectly fine & will last for a very long time.
I did these with the OER magnesium wheel paint & SEM primer that according to one guy that bashes anyone that uses it is "CL gravel driveway resto" LOL! Been holding up great for about 10 years now and looks like the day I did them.

Give it a rest, gets real tiring when you keep bashing anyone who doesnt do what you do... just because paints are in a spray can doesnt mean they arent good quality, you can have dupont, PPG or any brand paint put in a spray can at auto paint stores, Ive had it done for touch ups or smaller parts. Plenty of body shops use all kinds of SEM products... they are sold at auto body paint suppliers too.
