FAQs
Does this paint require a primer?
While the paint has high-build properties, using a dedicated metal primer on bare steel will significantly improve adhesion and longevity.
Can this be used on alloy wheels?
This product is specifically formulated for steel wheels; for alloys, a product designed for aluminum substrates is recommended for better adhesion.
How many cans do I need for four wheels?
Typically, two cans are sufficient for a set of four standard steel wheels, depending on the number of coats and the condition of the surface.
Is this a clear coat?
No, this is a topcoat paint. You may apply a clear coat over it for extra gloss and protection if desired.
How long should I wait between coats?
Allow 10-15 minutes between coats, or until the surface is touch-dry, depending on ambient temperature and humidity.
Troubleshooting
Paint is running or sagging
You are likely holding the can too close or moving too slowly. Increase the distance to 8-10 inches and apply thinner, faster passes.
Finish looks dull or dusty
This is likely 'dry spray' caused by painting from too far away or in conditions that are too hot. Move closer to the surface and apply in a more controlled environment.
Nozzle is clogged
Remove the nozzle and soak it in a solvent cleaner or replace it if necessary; always clear the nozzle by inverting the can after each use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure proper adhesion, start by thoroughly cleaning the steel wheels to remove all oil, grease, and brake dust using a degreaser. Sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper to create a profile for the paint to grip. Always mask off the tire or remove the wheel from the vehicle before painting to avoid overspray. Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes before use. After painting, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle and prevent clogging.
