Re: [MBZ] Source of silver lacquer paint for bundt wheels

[OK Don]

Power washing will wash you as much as the wheels, due to all the convoluted
concave and convex shapes. BTDT. I finished cleaning mine with various types
of wheels in the Dremel, and  lot of time. I didn't keep the car (SLC) long
enough afterwards to know if the paint stuck or not ---

Wacko was in reference to head shops, not body shops, although I 
guess there is a proliferation of wacko body shops too.  If the body 
shop works on cars, you are good to go.  If the head shop works on 
engines, you are in the right kind of head shop.

Re: [MBZ] Source of silver lacquer paint for bundt wheels

[Loren Faeth]

Bead blasting will take off all the dirt and old finish, or at least 
roughen the surface enough for the new paint to stick.  Power washing 
is a good start.  If you don't get it right the first time, you will 
end up bead blasting 2 coats of paint and clearcoat to do it right 
the second time.  As Larry said, the Bundts have many complex shapes, 
and are not practical to hand sand.  Bead blasting is a good 
suggestion.  Many body shops can do this and some head shops 
(automotive machine shops, not the Wacko kind) can bead blast for you.

Re: [MBZ] Source of silver lacquer paint for bundt wheels

[LarryT]

Howdy -
   I went to AutoZone or Advanced Auto and they had Silver Wheel Paint by a 
major manufacturer (Rustoleum perhaps?) and the paint went on perfectly.  1 
can did 2 wheels.  I also bought clear coat at the same location and it made 
a huge difference in final appearence. So get 2 cans of each and you'll be 
set.  As usual, preparation is critical to a professional job.  Since the 
Bundts are so complex it's probably ncessary to have them bead blasted to 
get them really clean.

[Redghost]

I found the Griots products to be very close to OEM.  They have a kit  
with all the goodies you need to prep and spray the wheels.  Rattle  
can, but if you take the time and do it right, they look really good.   
I have an old pristine spare I sourced out of a PnP trunk that I used  
as the standard to which I was aiming.  Really really close, so close  
you can not tell unless you have a new oe wheel beside it, and even  
then it is a matter of poor shooting on my part

Go down to Dollar General, buy the silver spray paint that costs about 
$2, works great.

Re: [MBZ] Source of silver lacquer paint for bundt wheels

[LWB250]

Wurth used to make both the silver paint and the clear coat, then stopped 
making the clear coat.  Don't know about the paint.

I did a set of bundts back in the late 90s with the Wurth silver and used 
Minwax spray spar varnish (gloss) and it held up very well.  I sold the wheels 
to a buddy of Marshall's that lived in Cleveland, and Marshall told me that the 
finish was holding up well after 2-3 Cleveland winters.

I will add that the wheels were media blasted and very, very clean before they 
were painted...

In my ongoing quest to overimprove my cosmetically imperfect "fleet", I
recall that Wurth makes or made an OEM silver paint specifically designed
for Mercedes alloy (bundt) wheels.  Neither my local dealership nor the MB
Classic Center carreis this product any more.  :(  Does anyone out there
know where to purchase this product?  There is also a clear coat for this
paint., IIRC.  I would prefer paying the Rusty discount price.  :)

Re: [MBZ] Source of silver lacquer paint for bundt wheels

[Rich Thomas]

I recall previous discussions on this topic concluding that the $1/can 
(might be $2 now) silver stuff from Lowes or HD looks/works just fine.  
You can buy clear enamel too if you want to put a protective layer on.


I was thinking about this the other day, mama's new 84 ride's wheels 
look worse than the 79 TD's.  I was thinking to swap them.
