Duplicolor Wheel Paint

[ryanM]

has anyone ever had experiences with using Duplicolor wheel coating? preferably bronze. im getting some hx's and i plan to paint them bronze. so far this is the only bronze paint i can find but from looking at the cap it looks like more of a champagne color. if youve used this can you post a pic? or if you know of another brand of bronze paint let me know. thanks

one thing thats is for sure.. you will need several coats.. its very powdery....not like a milky coat which is better to me

i did my hx wheels before with the duplicolor gunmetal. they came out excellent,held up through 2 new york winters before i sold them. i still see em every once and a while and they still look good

they come painted, whats the big deal with stripping the paint and redoing it a different color?

i could see what your saying if they were an oem rim that was originally polished, like Si's or blades, but hx rims are painted silver from the factory. im just gonna repaint them...

nothing wrong with it, i just personally don't like it. Do what you want bro I'm sure it'll look great.

i painted some rims gloss back... works good and holds on good esp for the price... only thing is when its time for new tires its gonna pop some of the paint off.... nothin you can do about it

With more coats the bronze gets darker. Its REALLY dark with a few coats, I have done 2 sets bronze and It turned out REALLY well. Be sure you use their Duplicolor Wheel Clear... Only way to keep it from chipping... no sanding and buffing too.
