Product Information
Full details
The DOFFITAX Alloy Wheel Spray Paint is designed for car enthusiasts and DIY mechanics looking to restore or refresh the aesthetic appeal of their alloy wheels. This 400ml aerosol provides a controlled, smooth finish ideal for cosmetic touch-ups and full refurbishment projects. While it offers excellent coverage for routine maintenance, it is important to note that the final result relies heavily on the quality of your surface preparation, as the paint requires a clean, dry, and sanded substrate to adhere properly.

FAQs
Do I need a primer before using this spray?
For best results, especially on bare metal or heavily repaired areas, applying a suitable automotive primer is highly recommended to ensure optimal adhesion.
Is this paint heat-resistant?
It is designed to withstand standard operating temperatures of alloy wheels, including heat generated by braking, but it is not intended for high-performance track-day heat levels.
How many cans do I need for four wheels?
A single 400ml can is usually sufficient for light touch-ups, but for a full color change or total refurbishment of four wheels, you may require 2-3 cans.
Can I use this on steel wheels?
Yes, it can be applied to steel wheels provided the surface is properly cleaned, sanded, and primed to prevent oxidation.
How long should I wait before driving the car?
It is recommended to allow the paint to cure for at least 24 hours in a dry environment to ensure it has fully hardened before the wheels face road vibrations and debris.
Troubleshooting
Paint is dripping or running
You are likely applying the paint too thickly. Use lighter, multiple coats and maintain a distance of 8-10 inches from the surface.
Rough or 'orange peel' texture
Ensure the surface is properly sanded and clean. Avoid spraying in direct sun or high wind, which can cause the paint to dry too quickly before it levels out.
Clogged spray nozzle
Remove the nozzle and clear the opening with a needle or soak in a specialized paint thinner. Alternatively, turn the can upside down and press the nozzle to clear the internal tube.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The DOFFITAX Alloy Wheel Spray Paint is compatible with most standard aluminum and alloy automotive wheels. Ensure the surface is completely free of loose paint, wax, or silicone before application.

If the nozzle becomes clogged during use, invert the can and spray for a few seconds to clear the valve, or remove the nozzle and soak it in a solvent cleaner.
