There should be a recommended primer listed on your can of paint. Check to see what your paint asks for.

You get what you pay for, if you really cheap out your paint might start lifting off.

I would probably stick with engine primer. Your walmart stuff probably can't stand heat. Rims can get pretty hot from time to time.

Try contacting the customer service reps at dupli
