Does anyone have any info on puttin a new coat of paint on my wheels? or expereinces? id like to paint them just over in the stock color silver after a good cleaning and what not. Anyone have any thing to tell me about how i should go about doing this, or if this is a bad idea? thanks in advance
German cars used Wurth paint, typically silver, to paint the wheels. Wurth paint has been difficult to obtain in the US, but I don't know if that's been resolved. Griots Garage sells a DIY painting kit with a prep and clear coat spray.
I have recently painted my wheels.
I cleaned them very well with presurized water and the rest and the aid of a small hard brush.
Then used metalized car paint, the one that you would use to paint the car. Two layers were enough. And then I applied a "double coating" varnish. They have been that way about two months and they look very well.
If I had the time, I would polish the wheels after the varnish to get them shiny.
