Re: DIY - OEM RIM and Tyre Ebossing Paint Work For some reason, I was not able to view the last 2 post here hence a late reply. Quote:

Also the painted wheel on the car has now gathered dust. I am going to try and wash it, but I have a hunch it will stay there. Don't ask me why.
Btw, any idea what is a clear coat? |
Hey that is a really unexpected brilliant brush paint job. Yes magnifying the pic shows the brush strokes but its rare. The paint quality and you paint job gave you real good results.
Dust is killer to the black rims. Mine is matt black but still have to keep it clean. It should not be washed away as the paint was applied after sanding (atleast for 3 months).
A clear coat is same as lacquer
There are two ways to have it. Either the paint (spray) you are using should be premixed with Lacquer. Or you paint and then apply a lacquer coat on dried paint. For body Paints the second option is much better to give a real gloss finish. I did the same on my RD. The second option also gives you a choice to select the grade of Lacquer you would like to choose. Quote:

It was my first time too Mave and for HoneyBee too. Eager to see the results and satisfaction you will have from you own DIY here.
I am looking for the compaint availibility locally rather than online order. Any ideas (reason is that i will be alone home so no one to take the courier). |
