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? Zach |

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. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

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.
