This is pretty sweet video and I think im def going to try to black out mine to look like how yours started, but how durable or fade resistant is this? With car washes over time ect? Can you still wash the rims or will the paint just come off?

@nikefutbol13

It really depends on what paint you will be using. Also I only show the first coat. You will need about 3-4 to be durable and even a coat a clear if you really want it to last. Mine has held up for the past 3 years with many track days.

Yeah, I've been rattle canning things for several years though. I would get some practice before you try what I did lol. Just make sure your easy on the spray finger. If the paint runs it's really hard to correct and takes quite some time to fix/correct.

If you need any tips with anything you can simply comment again so others can see my responses so they won't have to ask again.

Well, I don't endorse car trends like neon rims.. but first coat is a base coat. you should wait overnight for it to cure and dry. Then 2-3 more coats then clear if you want to. I simply do 2 coats 30 minutes apart and no clear coat. But I'm cheap and don't care about it being super pro or expensive.

im goin to paint mine neon green do i apply a clear coat after the first coat nd how many coats should i applay bfore i apply the clear coat

I don't remember, but it's probably dupli color. It's usually the best spray can you can get.
