FAQs

How many cans of paint do I need?

This depends on the size and number of wheels. One 400ml can is usually sufficient for a set of four standard-sized alloy wheels, but consider purchasing an extra can if you have larger wheels or if you want to apply multiple coats.

Can I use this paint on other surfaces?

While designed for alloy wheels, it's generally not recommended for other surfaces. The paint is specifically formulated for the unique demands of alloy wheels.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint is quick-drying. Refer to the can for specific drying times, but generally, it will be dry to the touch in a few minutes, and fully cured within a day.

Do I need a primer?

While not always necessary, a primer is recommended, especially for older wheels or if the existing finish is damaged. It helps with adhesion and durability.

How do I prepare the wheels for painting?

Clean the wheels thoroughly with a degreaser. Lightly sand the surface to improve adhesion. Ensure the wheels are completely dry before applying the paint.

What kind of finish does the paint provide?

The E-Tech Alloy Wheel Spray Paint - Drift Gold provides a deep golden metallic finish.

How do I clean the painted wheels?

Use mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Paint is running or dripping.

Apply thinner coats and ensure the can is held at the correct distance from the wheel (follow the instructions on the can).

Paint isn't adhering properly.

Ensure the wheel surface is clean, degreased, and lightly sanded before application. Consider using a primer.

Color doesn't match the expected shade.

Ensure even coat application. Allow the paint to fully cure. Factors such as lighting conditions can impact the perceived color.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Clean the alloy wheels thoroughly to remove dirt, grease, and any existing coatings.
  2. Sanding: Lightly sand the wheel surface to improve adhesion.
  3. Priming (Optional): Apply a suitable primer for better adhesion and durability, especially on older wheels or those with significant damage.
  4. Application: Apply several thin, even coats of E-Tech Drift Gold spray paint, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next.

Compatibility:

This paint is designed for use on alloy wheels. It's important to test compatibility on a small, inconspicuous area first, especially if the wheels have aftermarket coatings or finishes.

Care:

Clean the painted wheels regularly with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish. For more stubborn grime, use a wheel cleaner specifically designed for painted surfaces.
