No problems with proper prep work

The imperfections in the set of wheels I did were entirely from user error. - Prepped by stripping to bare metal (aluminum wheels) - Applied 2 coats etching primer (Rustoleum) - Applied 2 coats filler primer (Rustoleum) - Applied 2 coats color (should have done 3 light coats since I ended up with some runs) - Applied 3 coats clear coat (duplicolor)

It's lighter than I wanted, but a light coat of lens tint with it works great!

Decided to paint my wheels a dark bronze and this seemed to be the best option. First time around, I did a few coats and it ended up too light. Added a light coat of lens tint and got the prefect color. The next time, I just did a single, moderate coat on my black wheels and got the same color I liked. Paint is easy to use and didn't run for me at all. I was impressed by the color, ease of application and how quickly it dries.

Semi-Pro

If you are a car aficionado and really enjoy tricking up your machine, Dupli-color probably isn’t for you. But if you want to spend a few bucks rather than a few thousand on new wheels for your average car, this works GREAT! The rims of our 2005 Celica GT were looking pretty shabby —flaky paint, greasy spots and stains — but we wire brushed and sanded off the loose paint, washed them thoroughly, and sprayed this on — without removing them from the vehicle. It was an easy job and the wheels look factory-fantatstic! (A suggestion — you might want to cut out a simple round template to cover the tires while you spray.)

Put in the work for prep and it will show 💯

The paint on my G35 wheels (19" Rays) was coming off, so I thought to fix them as they go for around $1000 a set of 4 refurbished like new. I couldn't be happier with the outcome, they look amazing and I spent about $80. Prep work is KEY to painting wheels, no cutting corners. I recommend Bondo filler & primer and VHT clear coat. I put 9 coats in total 3 of Filler & primer, 3 of Duplicolor Bronze, and 3 of VHT Clearcoat Matte finish. Can't wait to paint them another color someday.

Awesome bronze color - looks perfect! Extremely satisfied.

This paint looked amazing on my wheels. I recommend entirely! For a set of 17" wheels I used every bit of 4 cans. We did one solid coat on the inside and many coats on the outside / top of the wheels. The end result is amazing! Used in combination with 4 cans of filler primer and 2 cans of VHT matte clear coat.

Great color, amazing results. Prep is everything!

First off the color is a perfect color bronze, and as I started layering the paint and wet sanding every three coats I started to see more and more metallic in the paint. If you are planning on painting your wheels, I recommend setting enough time aside to prep. I spent about 4 hours per wheel preping for paint, sanding off old clear, filling in any scratches and curb damage. If you don't fill in scratches and any damage you will see it even more with it paint. Also, buy the best primer and clear you can, I bought 2k primer and clear coat 5x more then normal paint but worth every penny. In the picture I used black 2k primer, which will bond to the wheels, and help protect them from the elements. Then I did 3 coats of bronze paint, waited 2 hours and then started wet sanding, added 3 more coats, then wet sanded, then another 3 coats, then the final wet sand and prep for clear coat. Also between every coat I used a tack cloth and wiped down with degreaser. So after 2 coats of 2k primer, 9 coats of bronze wheel paint I sprayed the 2k clear coat, 3 coats on the first day waited 24 hours then checked the paint to make sure I didn't need to wet sand any orange peel or bugs landed on it, then sprayed the final 4 coats. And waited another 24 hours and installed on my vehicle. Total time was about 30 hours without dry time. 2 coats of 2k primer, 9 coats of bronze wheel paint, 7 coats of 2k clear. 2k paint is what made it look amazing but remember if you want the best results from a spray can, 2k clear is it at $23 a can you won't have to worry about painting them again.

Covered the parts I've painted so far very well

The color was a little darker than I was expecting but that wasn't a problem. The paint looks great, drys smooth (with some practice), and covers a lot of surface area. I used it on interior parts of my car to improve the overall look of the interior. So far, everything I paint looks stunning the metallic flake effect turns out clean. The only problem I had Is with the clear coat process. The clear coat I used was made by Rustoleum The paint crinkled up like aluminum foil upon contact with the clear coat. I waited a day or two before painting but the effect as mentioned before occurred. The other parts I waited almost a week and they turned out beautiful. Overall, It was a great product just be careful when clear coating.

MUST BUY !!

Your buggin if you don’t like this product rims look beautiful looks like brand new black rims that I put on I order 3 cans I had one left over. I absolutely love love love and I willll be ordering again everyone is like omg how did do that I’m a female and I did it by myself it’s so easy to apply!! Definitely a must have if you want your rims colored.

I'm very happy with the results. It took a nasty set of Miata wheels and made them look like new!

I used this Bronze wheel paint to refinish a set of 15x6" 1999 Miata wheels. See the pics for the end result. I think they look great. The prep work is key and I sanded and cleaned them well and prepped with etching primer, then bronze top coat, then wheel clear coat. I used one can for 4 wheels, but I only painted the exterior, not the interior. I would recommend having any exterior weights removed prior to painting. You can get them rebalanced with stick on interior wheels for a cleaner look. All in all I'm very happy with the results. It took a nasty set of corroded wheels and made them look like new.

Excellent paint when used with a good primer prep coat

Refinishing the plastic OEM hubcaps on an 04 Impala, I sanded the chips and nicks prepping the hub caps. I primered two of the four caps thinking the silver paint would 'stick' to a sanded plastic surface. It did....but it did NOT cover well and there was some fisheye evident. Likely I did not get all the wax/dirt/oil off completely. The two primered hub caps took the paint perfectly, great even covered using 4 light coats vs 1 heavy one. I primed the other two and got excellent results. Be sure to de-dust the primer coat ( I used fine steel wool, water and then an alcohol tack rag. Used the whole can for four hubcaps. Perfect. BTW, the 'matching' clearcoat did NOT work well. Clouded the beautiful silver surface. I just left it un-cleared.
