I only have 1 can and I'm fairly certain it will do all 4. If I'm lucky I'd like to do my spare too. But honestly..if you don't have the whopping $11 to spend on another can just in case wait for one of us to do it and we'll let you know.

I painted the stock wheels on my old blazer and it took 1 1/2 cans of primer 2 cans of semi gloss black and 1 1/2 cans of clear. 2 medium coats of primer . 3 to 4 light to medium coats of paint. and 2 medium coats of clear. 10 min's in between coats, 1 hour inbetween primer,paint and clear. I thought I had some pics of them on the truck but cant seem to find them. Heres a pic of stock cavalier wheels I painted. Same process used.

I'll let you know how mine go this weekend.
And those won't fit a Blazer. They're off a Cav which is a different bolt pattern...

the bolt pattern refers to the number of bolt holes and the distance between them.

Not all 5 bolts will fit on other 5 bolts. The same with 4 bolts and 6 bolts...they're not all interchangeable.

Here's an explanation if you're curious: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/....jsp?techid=92
