If u want durability in ur paint then use "Extra Tough EpoxY"... its the shit they use to spray the bottom of ute trays... but only available in flat black...this stuff tho, NEVER chips... i went to change my tyres and they put it through that amchine... it didnt even leave a mark
for any other ur stuck with using normal enamels/acylics/etc... and they WILL flake off... spray some hardcoat (autobarn or model/hobby store) and it SHOUDL help a bit...
thanks for that, do i need to spray a clear layer of something once i've done spraying the final coat? i've used some random gloss black spray paint, nothing special.
i left mine matt black so no i didnt use anything after spraying it on... u only need an after-coat if u used enamels or acrylic based paints
btw for those ppl who are REALLY pedantic what u can do is get a couple of spotlights or a heatgun, etc etc...to heat up ur wheels before u spray it on... not the point where the paint will bubble when it hits the hot service, but just so that the paint would be more "sticky" and dry more evenly, i did this on my old rims by leaving em out in the summer sun for 30 minutes before the first coat... worked wonders
