It offers a professional-grade finish that is ideal for minor cosmetic touch-ups, full refurbishment projects, or routine seasonal maintenance.

FAQs
How many cans do I need for four wheels?
Typically, two cans are sufficient for a full refresh of four standard-sized alloy wheels, depending on the number of coats applied.
Can I use this on steel wheels?
While designed for alloys, it can adhere to properly primed steel, though results may vary compared to alloy surfaces.
Do I need to use a clear coat?
While the paint finish is durable, applying a high-quality clear coat over the top can provide additional UV protection and gloss.
Is this paint heat resistant?
It is designed for standard road wheel temperatures, but it is not a high-heat brake caliper paint.
How long does the paint take to dry?
Touch dry usually occurs within 30 minutes, but it is recommended to let the paint cure for at least 24 hours before driving the vehicle.
Troubleshooting
Paint is running or sagging during application
You are applying too much paint at once; hold the can further away and use thinner, faster passes.
Paint is peeling or flaking off shortly after drying
This is usually caused by inadequate surface preparation or grease remaining on the wheel; sand the area again and ensure it is surgically clean.
Spray nozzle becomes clogged
Turn the can upside down and spray for 2-3 seconds after each use to clear the internal tube.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Preparation: Ensure the alloy wheels are completely dry and free of contaminants before starting. Use painter's tape to mask off tires and valve stems to prevent unwanted paint transfer.
- Compatibility: This paint is intended for standard automotive alloy wheels. It is recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area if you are unsure of the factory coating material.
- Application Environment: Apply in a well-ventilated, dust-free area with an ambient temperature between 15°C and 25°C for optimal drying.
- Care: After curing, keep wheels free of harsh acidic wheel cleaners for at least 72 hours to allow the paint to fully harden.
