Want to clear coat these! Advice?!

[Jusmiwill]

Hay guys I'm not a huge fan of flat black on my car so I'm thinking I have a few cans of clear and I want a gloss finish on my SVE's should I use that or get a more quality clear! I asked at a few shops and got quoted 450-500 for all 4
Any advice?

They quoted you $4-500 just to clear coat them or was that for blasting and re powder coating? That would be outrageous for just a clear coat.

Yea just clear, went to 3 places and the cheapest was 125 a wheel :-(

Rattle cans are going to be a mess on those nice wheels. IMO.

What about USC Spray Max 2k High Gloss Clearcoat Aerosol

Where are you? I can get a set of wheels powder coated for $200! No way clear is double that alone! That's insane!

And to answer your question I wouldn't rattle can them!

In NY I used some of this on the side of the rim and it came out ok gonna try a light coat and see what happens fingers crossed

I wouldn't use that. I play around with it on stuff when I'm bored at work and it hasn't held up on hardly anything. You'd be better off spray painting them gloss black than putting that on top

It would have been a whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooole lot easier to wax them with WHEEL WAX and be done with it.

It's what I use and not only does it make them shine, but they are slick as glass and dust just falls off of them.

Wow that looks great what kind of wax

Edit found it gonna pick some up 2day
