914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Rattle can wheel paint

Posted by: Vacca Rabite Jan 17 2008, 01:45 PM

My family owned FLAPS has a better paint section the most corperate stores. One of the things that they sell is wheel paint in rattle cans.

I have been planning on painting my 2.0 fuchs flat or satin black. Does this stuff work?

I did my empi's with some of the FLAPS wheel paint.

I was pretty satisfied.

Should be a pic of mine in the link to my old car below.

I did the Duplicolor rattle can in flat black on my wheels. Fairly pleased with the results. Any gripes are probably related more to user error & impatience than the paint itself. $0.02

I would order something from Eastwood. They have some good products in rattle cans. Or if you can buy SEM products off the shelf.

I am using Rustoleum with a $3 Preval sprayer; FLAPS may have; Home Depo does.

Rattle can satin finish is pretty close to the facotry finish. If you prep right, it should last a few years.

You can also still get actual Porsche alloy black paint in a can from the dealer. It's one of those "We don't sell those" until you pull out a part number. "Oh, looks like we have a couple on the shelf."

I forget what the part number is though.

I used duplicolor wheel paint and wheel clearcoat. Just prep it right and use multiple thin coats. I was very satisfied. It lasted about 4 years before it started chipping. I ran that car through automatic car washes with wheel scrubbers too.

I used Duplicolor wheel paint last year on my repo Fuchs and was happy with the results.
