Thanks for the info on painting - since you use a gun & air pressure I
assume you used paint from a quart can or similar. Where/what kind of paint
did you use? My paint guy can probably provide a product similar to Wurth
but I suspect there might be additives in the paint making it more
appropriate for use on wheels.
I always buy the paint I use to paint my cars from a PPG dealer and have
gotten comfortable using the Omni AU product line. I wonder if PPG would
carry a color that's suitable? I'll call my paint guy later --
Thanks again for all the help --

I sand blasted my wheels, cleaned them with acetone, several light coats
of epoxy primer, several light coasts of base coat, and about 10 light
layers of clear coat. I used a professional spray gun..Wheels look
better than new cuz no clear coat in that era.
suggest used light sprays of each application with a spray
can...those new spray can which can be recharged seem to look good in
theory. Keep in mind the more moisture in the air, fish eyes will appear
on the painted surface......

Has anyone found any place with low prices on Wurth or equivilent
silver paint for alloy wheels? I'll need the clear also - Griots has
a Wurth equiv individually or as a package for $60 including 2 cans of
silver and 2 of clear, a silicone, etc cleaner and zinc spray to
stabilize the surface.
The
individual can of ciler and clear are $9.99 each.
In the past, listers have given good reports about both products. Most
important seems to be preparation of the wheels and using VERY many
light coats.
