Nice job, how many coats of clear did you use?

[Neb]

plus if you give the wheels a couple coats of wax nothing will stick too it... nice work

not trying to jack but i rattle canned my RS's and i used Valspar rattle and it worked great also. been daily for 3 months now with no problems. i did the same, about 5 paint coats and i think i did like 3 clear coat layers

exactly! thank you! haha, it works perfectly fine if you just take your time and do it right! As far as break dust goes...not a problem at all if you have ceramic pads...NO DUST!

I feel like we should have a wheel painting DIY stickied. Ive painted a few, considering painting my next set too, but i want to find a better clear

Rustoleum makes a good clear, ive used it on all of my cars and it lasts and shines amazing! i meen just look at the pics

thank you!!!

i plan on rattle canning my wheels here soon. sandblasting tomorrow and then paint, but im going to use actual car clearcoat, with the hardener you have to mix in, its a bit pricy, 30 for the clear and 20 for the hardener, but i think in the long run ill be much happier i spent that.

yeah also tru but i meen Rustoleum makes the best rattlecan paint out there and like i said, 4 coats of clear should last quite some time! thanks for looking and good luck on yours post em up once your done!

[pumpin_fistsE36]

gold on green is whats up!! Only problem i had with my wheels painted with rattle can is the brake dust sticking to the paint and not coming off unless you take the paint with it..goodluck with yours though!

its got 5 coats of paint and FOUR coats of clear, this paint aint goin nowhere and nothing is sticking to it

the issue with rattle can isn't making it look good, it's the durability of uncatalized clear. good luck on the long term.
