Main problems I have is I both live on the coast where things will devour even a nice blasted part quickly sprayed with epoxy, and I also use beach sand which has a lot of salt in it already. I blasted and epoxied my wheels and they've held up pretty well so far (garaged) but the epoxy I'm using just didn't seem to have the bite that my inner fenders did when I used a self etch primer over phosphor-etched and wire wheeled prep-work.
I'll definitely try the wipe excess route this weekend.
