Rattlecan Fuchs. How are they holding-up?
I found a great example of a perfect finish from Don in a different thread. Are there any more similar DIY wheels around?

Those look nice. Can you link us to that thread?
This is something I'm going to tackle this winter. |
I've rattle-canned several wheels. Prep is the key to a long-lasting paint job.

I rattle-canned a set 7 years ago. Now they have 85,000 miles on and still look OK. Could use a re-fresh but acceptable for doing absolutely zero maintenance to them in all that time.
As stated, prep work is everything. |
Yep. Prep is key. Lightly sand and use a self etching primer. Let the primer dry and then apply several thin coats of the finish color. I skipped the primer on one and it has chipped like crazy. The other three look great after 7 years..I need to pull the bad one and strip it for a respray. Sometimes I could really strangle myself for taking "shortcuts".
