If you allow the paint to dry more than 24 hours, it is recommended to
use 400 grit sand paper. The sanding will permit a course surface for
the next layer to paint to bond too.... if you apply the next layer of
paint before 24 hours, the paint is tacky, permitting a good bond with
the next layer..
I prefer applying the next layer when the paint is tacky 12 to under
24 hours which is a chemical bond between layer....

Those are good prices- I did all 4 wheels this year, prep is key as with
any paint job. Light coats of the paint, sanding slightly with 400
between. Then the lacquer, 4 coats and sand before the last one. I
think they turned out perfect- hard pressed to see the difference from
factory.
Durability is unknown at this point, they have lasted 6 mo so far.

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.
