well my friend came over and picked up my 65 Chevy today
.he is installing 3.73 and posi unit plus fixing some odds and ends.while he has my truck I'm going to get ready to paint my steelies rims red. my question is which spray paint should I use? I want something real durable, that doesn't fade or start rusting a mounth after the paint is applied. they are Rustoleum, Nason, ppg, DuPont and many many more. then they are clear coat with protects the paint but I can't use because im going to rattle can them. and what about primer? should I use a etch primer or a regular primer or no primer. basically all I need to know is which rattle can paint should I use on my rims that's going to stand up to wear and tear and be reliable for at least months? Here is the red im wanting to go with.it's like a satin red imo which would suit my truck perfectly
Here's the rims ill be painting red
Questions) should I take a scuff pad to them like a red or gray one or sand paper like 400 to them.then use precleano to the rim.mask the rim off then should I A. Primer the rim. B. Use etch primer. C. primer the whole rim. D. Paint the rims
You already seen the color I want. in your honest opinion which type of paint should I use ( rattle can paint only)
And how many coats should I put down?
My last question where can I get some chrome center caps? I'm thinking about doing the rims red with a small chrome center. if I could get a Center cap with a skull or that chopper cross that West Coast Choppers use would be badass. If someone could post a link up It would be greatly appreciated .
