For primer I used Rustoleum Industrial in a Gallon can. I let the primer dry well and sanded it lightly then painted with Rustoleum Industrial gloss black.After all this work I took them to have the tires installed and they scuffed the wheels up for me ! Next time I would like to try powder coating the wheels. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 502 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 502 | Ever notice one of the first places you see rust on wheels is the crevice where the center joins up with the rim because the sprayed paint doesn't get in the crack.
Before I spray my wheels I thin the paint a little and paint that crevice with a brush letting it run into the crack, where sprayed paint can't get to very well. Look for drips out the back side and wipe off.
If done right with a small brush any brush marks left will be covered when you top coat the wheel.
