Just curious if anyone has used duplicolor wheel paint for a full paintjob - I used it on my rims and it seemed a little rough - wondering if it takes ok to wet sanding, how hard it is to get even / not to tigerstripe.. seems like some tough *** paint (no chipping on my rims in over a year and I live on a mile long gravel driveway) - and i didnt even clearcoat them.

Please let me know - have a puke green accord with the clearcoat sanded off..awaiting paint.

that sounds sketchy
check out the $50 paint job thread

Yeah that thread is what encouraged the thought - read a thread or two of people who have actually done this though - just no pics (or pics were dead since threads were old). Anyone?

 

dont dooo it tested a fender and that paint comes out in strips even if you're over a foot away.

you aint doin it right then!!!

 

when i spray duplicolor it comes on smooth.. all i need is a little wetsanding (i don't paint in a booth) then a spray of clear and it usually comes out shiny with a little bit of orange peel.. i let it sit for a couple days, wetsand, and buff..

on the 50 dollar thread, there's a picture of some guys fender he painted
