So you guys know, most of the paints that are hard enough to use on wheels are going to have a 7day cure time. I know the duplicolor wheel paint does. Just something to think about. You don't want to rush the process, becsause the paint WILL chip especially on rims if it is not cured properly.

I'm going to go down the powdercoat route next summer. A LOT more expensive, but I'm not taking any chances.
