That makes no sense, he is asking if anyone used that specific one and asking for pictures of the outcome, how will that not help him much?

i dunno guys, I spent 3 days using the rustoleum, and that paint doesnt stick worth anything. Stripped the paint, sanded, removed grease/wax. Primered with rustoleum primer, sanded, put 2 more coats of primer, sanded. Then went to bronze after cleaning everything again perfectly. Put down 6 cans worth of dark metallic bronze (all very light layers) and then let it dry for a few hours in the sun. After that I cleared with about 4 cans, (2 very light coats, and 2 thicker/light coats) let it cure for a week.

No joke, my rims looked like a cow after 3 weeks of driving. rocks/dust would strip the paint off.

And this was me spending 1 whole day of prep work, I told myself these rims where gonna be the best paint job i will ever do.

And I know how to paint, ive painted 1/2 my car to factory spec.
