SP187 Gloss Black Wheel Paint Can - 11 oz.

Painted my wheels and the color is nice! A little lighter than I thought but it looks great, and close to OEM for my waffle wheels. Held up great under conditions, no chips.

My old aluminum wheels had started to corrode after 22 yrs. So, I cleaned them, painted them with wheel paint, then needed to clear coat them. So, the Rustoleum wheel paint can said to clear coat it with Rustoleum wheel clear coat. Never heard of Rustoleum having a wheel clear coat. So, I did some research. Turns out, the Rustoleum wheel clear coat came in with terrible reviews. So scratch that. Then I stumbled across VHT. I've used VHT in the past, and it's excellent. Found a High Heat Wheel Clear Coat made by VHT. PERFECT ! Read the reviews, ordered 4 spray cans for 4 wheels. Applied as directed. Takes 7 days to fully cure. Now that is some good stuff !!! The brilliant clear shine it left is beautiful. Sprayed on easily, even upside down and sideways. No drips or spitting from the nozzle. Fantastic product ! After 7 days, I'll go over the clear coat with a clear ceramic sealer for added protection. Can never go wrong with a VHT product !

Be patient both: 1) when spraying. this is thinner than paint and if you spray too much at a time it WILL run/drip. Instead, be patient and do a couple light coats with 10 mins between them. Its better to spend the time and do 5 thin coats, than to rush and do a coat too thick and mess up your whole job when it drips. 2) Curing: this takes a WEEK to cure. I live in Texas, its hot, and my wheels were in the garage 3 days. At that point I could, and did, put a scratch in the clear coat and VHT paint on my rim with my fingernail. Be patient and if your able to, dont drove or allow anything near the wheel for a week. After 7 days, these felt like new wheels from the factory. PRO TIP: My rims came out looking amazing. BUT, I wanted extra protection and shine. After it cures, a week minimum after painting / clear coating, you can wet sand this with 1500-2000 grit sandpaper to smooth it out. After you do that you can a. add more clear coat if your paranoid like me. OR, add compound and buff this. This will make the wheel really pop. Again, just spraying and allowing it to cure looked great. the wetsanding and polishing is for extra shine / smoothness enjoy

The only thing I didn't like was that it didn't dry to a smooth finish. It's not super rough, but it's not smooth either. Otherwise, it worked well.

I used it to paint my calipers and liked the spray flow of the can so I bought 2 black ones for my wheels along with the clear coat and let me tell you this is the best paint I’ve used. The spray flow is much better than traditional spray cans, it laid the material down smooth and the clear coat flattened to a crystal clear finish overnight. They look like they’ve been painted with a quality hvlp sprayer but they are just cans! I’m using VHT products from now on they are the best!!

Great item works perfect

This is excellent wheel paint. It seems to cover better than common aerosol can spray paint. I used it to re-coat our 2004 Toyota Tacoma truck wheels after sanding and cleaning them. I used about three full cans, maybe a little over, for all four wheels and kept one can for touchups, if needed. Going on three months now and this daily driver's wheels still look as good as the day I remounted them. Very satisfied. It was time for new tires so the tire dealer worked with me on this project. At home, I jacked up the track, set it on jack stands, removed all four wheels, and the tire dealer removed the tires for me. Took the wheels home, sanded, and cleaned them. Applied the VHT primer, let it sit overnight and applied the top coat. They came out beautiful and look like new wheels. The tire dealer then mounted the new tires and I took my "new" wheels and tires home and remounted them. They look beautiful and have really enhanced the look of the truck, like wearing new shoes. But, like any painting project, it is the preparation that can make or break the outcome so be sure the surfaces to be painted are rust free, sanded, and clean before applying the paint.

Applied 3 months ago and looks like the first day after several car washes. Also very similar to the original color, I have a 2016 Ford Fusion Titanium.
