User questions & answers

Question:	Is this a paint or just a transparent spray to prevent rust? Can I just spray it on the wheels of camry 2010? Or there are additional steps
Answer:	It's a clearcoat, so technically it's transparent paint. And yes you can just spray on your wheels, there are additional steps that the manufacturer recommends, or I personally; like sanding, applying primer, applying color(painting) and then clear with this product to get good results. I did the 4 wheels on my car and they look awesome but I took a lot of time doing prep. If you don't do the prep work it can still be done just don't have high expectations and later blame the product because you didn't put the work in it. At least make sure the surface it's clean, and keep in mind it's clear paint so it will not cover any defects, to get a glossy finish spray a light coat followed by one or two wet coats, be careful to not let the paint run when you apply the wet coats. As for the rust prevention I din't know.
Question:	Will this product adhere to raw aluminum or does does it need to go on over paint
Answer:	Best to use 2K epoxy or self etching primer over clean well prepared aluminum. Do not let anyone tell you orherwise.
Question:	Can this be used for wood? (I'm trying to spray paint my skateboard deck and I need a clear coat so the paint doesn't come off
Answer:	I use this on my dump truck metal sides. It also stays very well on my wood sideboards too. I just give it 2 or 3 coats and let it soak in.
Question:	How many cans does it take to do five rims, inside and outside of rim
Answer:	I was able to paint the outsides of 4, 17" rims and the center caps with 2-3 coats, with less than 4 cans. The trouble I had is that the paint really needs to bake so that the surface will harden. The appearance was great, but didn't last. I think if I had the ability to bake the paint, it would still look great and last the elements.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this safe for rabbits
Answer:	I would not spray it on rabbits. But if you are spraying the cadge make sure they don't chew on it it might make them sick.
Question:	Can it be sanded ? How good is it on bare metal
Answer:	This is a primer and is intended to be used on bare metal. The metal should be clean of oil and grease though I believe you can spray over rust, though not preferred. This is not the sort of primer you use to blend out sheet metal and should not be sanded.
Question:	Can this be applied over light rust? If not, what product do I need for this
Answer:	I cleaned light rust with a little paint thinner and then sprayed this primer on a prep gun motor. Then used black rustoleom paint over primer. And its been two years and the motor is still in good shape.

User questions & answers

Question:	Would this work on a bicycle frame I'm restoring
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Can I paint my handgun with it? It’s old and it got some rust I want to prevent it
Answer:	I wold not maybe some 3000 grit depending 5000 or higher or even lower grit. test in a small area underneath or a hidden area under the grip/stock if its super light rust might get it clean then oil it or get some blue steel for guns and re blue it. All depends on bad the rust is check inside the action barrel or better yet get a gun Smith to look at it there better ways than this rustoleum
Question:	So how long can I leave this on my truck before painting
Answer:	This stuff is very tough to sand it is almost like stand alone paint very durable kinda surprised me no fingerprint transfer after it dried so I dont think it matters much. I left mine on for a week before I got around to painting I just ran a clean new terrycloth towel & normal prep and my flat black topcoat is fine a year later
Question:	Can I use it on my car's exhaust pipe
Answer:	No. Your exhaust pipe gets very hot. You would need a primer that's designed for that heat.

User questions & answers

Question:	How does this paint do on outside metal Railing... Does it do well on wet weather and will i need to prime it before i apply the gloss black

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone wetsanded after using the clear gloss? How long did it take to cure
Answer:	I wetsanded the clear gloss over this and it all came right off, sanded down to my fricken primer with 2000 grit. I couldnt believe it. I have to repaint the whole thing now kinda blows....
Question:	How does this compare to the dupli color gunmetal that I see on Amazon, as well
Answer:	This is graphite or charcoal wheel paint color
Question:	Will this match well for 2014 BMW painted alloy wheels
Answer:	I used on my 2014 BMW 528i Rims, I also uses the clearcoat to protect is from scratching easily, works great
Question:	Do you have to primer, first
Answer:	You should and it will run less and cure better, but you don't absolutely have to. If you skip primer, you have to degrease and clean the entire wheel in soap and water, then wet sand the entire surface to get through the clear coat or acrylic barrier in the paint layer, 800-2000 grit until the entire rim looks hazy when you wipe it dry. Then clean it with isopropyl alcohol, and use air to blow any remaining fibers or debris away from the wheel. All your coats must be 5-30 minutes apart, not sooner, not longer. First two coats, just lightly dust it, don't worry about coverage. Next coat should be a light overall coat that is not wet and glossy (pull it back!). Once that tacks up a bit, then you can apply a medium wet coat, by repeating the light coat you did over and over until it STARTS to look wet and glossy. Don't keep going over a spot that already does. Let it cure untouched for 7 days. Your paint will be good.
