Yes. I bought 4 cans of the black- one for each wheel. I sprayed
four light coats of black per wheel and then tossed the can. Rustoleum
is thick paint and has a tendancy to gum up the nozzle after the can
is about half empty- no matter how much you vent the nozzle.
(I must have 10 half-empty clogged cans sitting on a shelf).
When this occurs, it spits paint blobs onto your work. Better to
spend the three bucks on a new can than risk having to beadblast the
wheels again.
I cant remember what silver I used. I think it was a Duplicolor
lacquer for a GM color. I'll dig it up tonight and let you know.
I think I sprayed about 6 or 7 coats of this, but probably sanded
half that many off to get it smooth. I didnt use a clear.
