You should because it will run less and cure faster, but you are not required to. If you don't use primer, you'll need to degrease and clean the entire wheel with soap and water, then wet sand the entire surface to remove the clear coat or acrylic barrier in the paint layer, 800-grit. 2000 grit sandpaper until the entire rim is hazy when wiped dry. Then clean it with isopropyl alcohol before blowing any remaining fibers or debris away from the wheel with compressed air. All of your coats must be a size 5. Not sooner, not later than 30 minutes apart. Don't worry about coverage in the first two coats; just lightly dust it. The next coat should be a light, non-wet, glossy overall coat (pull it back!). Once that has dried a little, apply a medium wet coat by repeating the light coat you applied until it STARTS to look wet and glossy. Don't keep going over the same ground that has already been covered. Allow it to cure for seven days without touching it. Your paint job is going to be fantastic.
I used it on my 2014 BMW 528i rims, and I also used clearcoat to keep them from scratching.
This is the color of graphite or charcoal wheel paint.
Just to be safe, I'd order five cans. You might be able to get away with as few as three cans. However, you don't want to run out of gas in the middle of your journey. The size and design of the rims will, of course, have an impact. I was preparing 18" bbs RC rims for painting. I placed an order for eight cans but only received four. I have a half-hour spare.

The flaws in the set of wheels I made were entirely due to my own mistakes.
- Prepped by removing the wheels and stripping them down to the bare metal (aluminum wheels)br>- Applied two coats of Rustoleum etching primerbr>- Filler primer (Rustoleum) was applied in two coats. br>- Applied two coats of color (should have done three light coats because I got some runs)br>- Three coats of clear coat (duplicolor) were applied.
I tried a few coats the first time and ended up with a light finish. I finished it off with a light coat of lens tint for the perfect shade. br>br>The next time, I just gave my black wheels a single, light coat and got the same color I wanted. br>br>Paint is simple to use and did not cause any problems for me. The color, ease of application, and speed with which it dries all made an impression on me.
My G35 wheels (19" Rays) were peeling paint, so I decided to repair them since a set of four refurbished like new wheels costs around $1000. I'm overjoyed with the results; they're gorgeous, and I only spent $80 on them. Painting wheels requires a lot of prep work, so don't skimp on it. Bondo filler is a product that I recommend. VHT clear coat and primer. In total, I applied nine coats, three of which were filler coats. Three coats of primer, three coats of Duplicolor Bronze, and three coats of VHT Clearcoat Matte finish I'm looking forward to painting them in a different color.
If you're a car enthusiast who enjoys customizing your ride, Dupli-Color is a great place to start. Color is probably not your thing. However, if you only want to spend a few dollars on new wheels for your average car rather than a few thousand, this is a great option! Our 2005 Celica GT's rims were in bad shape, with flaky paint, greasy spots, and stains, but we wire brushed and sanded off the loose paint, thoroughly washed them, and sprayed this on — all without removing them from the vehicle. It was a simple task, and the wheels appear to be factory-made. amazing! awesome! awesome! awesome! a (Here's a suggestion: cut out a simple round template to cover the tires while you spray. ).
It was used to paint steel wheels and dupli-color wheels. color primer, soaked in a bucket of warm water before use and sprayed well, requires frequent shaking as the can nears empty, as the paint may come out looking dusty and leave streak marks on the paint already on the wheels, so make sure to shake well, end result came out looking pretty good even without a clear coat, only drawback is that not all areas of the paint came out smooth on the wheel, the center feels a little rough to the toes,.
I'm not sure what the good reviews were about, but after hitting a curb, I got some minor scuffs and scratches. I blocked out all non-essential areas, and the spray mist area is far too large for smaller spaces. And it comes out too wet, dripping unevenly down the rim, bubbling and dark flecks in tow. The color appears to match my BMW, but it looks awful and uneven, and I believe it isn't viscous enough (the rim is vertical, and this stuff won't stay in place). I'm pretty sure I made things worse, so I'll have to hire someone to do it professionally now.
The chemistry of single-celled organisms Spraypaints are not without their drawbacks. Similarly, a spray can's teeny-tiny nozzle does. In light of this, this metallic silver spraypaint for wheels is a fantastic choice. It has an excellent nozzle that sprays much better and finer than most spray cans' cheesy plastic buttons. But keep in mind that large metallic flakes won't fit through that tiny nozzle, so there won't be any - It won't match a factory wheel painted with metallic flake by a robot using an HVLP gun. It's a more homogeneous, teeny-tiny version. tiny- It has a silvery gleam to it, but it is very similar to OEM- It has a nice appearance and is a good fit for most vehicles. It's not "Hyper Silver" at all. It's just plain old gleaming neutral silver paint with a smidgeon of gleam. Instead of using it for touch-ups, apply a full coat. It'll be well worth your time and effort. This finish will not hold up without a clear coat. Because it's a thin paint, make sure the primer is smooth before applying it. You can achieve professional-looking results if you take your time, do things correctly, use proper spraying techniques, and don't rush.
If you're restoring vintage VW wheels or bumper hardware, this is a good paint to use. However, be aware that this product contains a significant amount of solvent, which is most likely used to transport the metal flake. It is extremely simple to use. Apply horizontally if at all possible to avoid vertical runs; the package recommends three light coats due to the runny nature of the paint. I used four coats, the first just to give the next coat something to adhere to. It wasn't enough to fully color the object, but it was enough to give it something to adhere to. It produces a nice looking glossy coat that looks factory when applied correctly. There are only about 4-ounces in a 12-ounce can. Because of the high solvent-to-paint ratio, 5 oz of paint was required. I thought one can would be enough for both of my VW bumpers, but I ended up needing a second, so plan ahead.
