- I painted my wire wheels a couple of years ago after bead blasting them. I used Rustoleum cold galvanizing as the primer, then top-coated with Rustoleum "matte nickel". I think they look pretty good

- No, it just says "no top coat needed", like most zinc coatings or zinc chromates. It takes paint fine and holds up nicely, I've been using for more years than I can remember.

- I've used Krylon's "Argent Silver" (very bright) then "dulled" the finish by topcoating with Krylon non-yellowing Clear. Not exactly the "right" factory color but close enough (for me, anyway:). Cap'
