FAQs
Does this paint require a clear coat?
While the finish is durable on its own, applying a clear coat can provide additional UV protection and extra gloss if desired.
Can I use this on alloy wheels?
This product is specifically formulated for steel wheels. For alloy wheels, use a dedicated primer designed for aluminum surfaces.
How many cans do I need for four wheels?
Generally, two 500ml cans are sufficient to cover four standard steel wheels with 2-3 coats each.
What temperature should I apply this in?
Best results are achieved between 15°C and 25°C. Avoid application in direct sunlight or high humidity.
Do I need a primer?
If the wheel is in good condition, you can apply directly to clean, sanded steel. If the wheel has rust or bare metal spots, use an anti-corrosive primer first.
Troubleshooting
Paint is running or sagging
You are holding the can too close or applying coats that are too heavy. Apply thinner, light coats from further away.
Poor adhesion or flaking
This is usually caused by inadequate surface preparation. Ensure the wheel was properly sanded and cleaned of all grease before painting.
Clogged nozzle
Turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds after use to clear the valve mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum durability, follow these steps for the best results:
- Preparation: Clean the wheels thoroughly with a degreaser to remove road grime and brake dust. Sand the surface with fine-grit abrasive paper to promote mechanical adhesion.
- Masking: Use automotive-grade masking tape to protect the tire sidewall and valve stem from overspray.
- Application: Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes. Apply 2-3 thin coats, allowing the paint to flash off between applications according to ambient temperature.
- Care: Avoid high-pressure car washes for the first 48 hours to allow the paint to reach full cure strength. Maintain the finish by cleaning with mild soap and soft brushes.
