Product Information

Best Product I have ever used Excellent match for BMW wheels, even better than the BMW spray. Great for touch-ups and easy to use. Combined with Wurth lacquer produces a superb finish. Jeff – Carlisle Allow air-drying; 1-2 hours between coats and then lightly sand finish, then leave to cure overnight. Some wheel paints are also suitable for painting other auto parts, including hub caps and other metal accessories.

BMW R1200GS Engine Case Refurb Superb colour match on my BMW bike & the finish is superb. Phil Taylor – Wirral Good Product Matches BMW alloys very well.

A self-etching Primer is for use only on wheels that have been taken down to bare metal.Take eye protection seriously. A typical pair of glasses isn’t enough to protect your eyes when using wheel paint. Slipping on a pair of goggles designed for working with potentially dangerous chemicals or tools will provide the best protection. Great product and service Brilliant quality, easy application, high-quality finish. Great service as always! – A. These types of wheels are the most challenging to paint, but it can be done effectively. Start by spraying the wheel paint directly into the small, tight spaces in the wheels, and then allow it to dry. Next, spray the paint over the entire surface of the wheel. Using this method will ensure that you don’t miss any of the tiny crevices in your wheels.

It is a fast-drying lacquer spray paint that matches the standard alloy wheel paint used by Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, VW, Audi, Fiat and most other European manufacturers. Also excellent on TSW Alloys and GM Vauxhall. The paint doesn't cover evenly at all and there is filament like strands of stringy bits coming out of the can. The result is patchy and coarse and uneven. If you spray it on at 20-25 CM distance as per the instructions on the can, I end up with a greyish looking colour not silver, coarse finish with bits in it, like bad over-spray, which is not the same Wurth quality I have read about. If I spray it on much closer 2-3 inches say, then the finish is more silver in colour and smoother as you'd expect, but you can't spray paint on properly at that close range. You don’t have to use a primer, but applying at least one coat before you paint your wheels will go a long way toward producing a perfect finish. Many people use more than one primer. Filler primer is a good option for filling in imperfections. Lovely stuff!! This is superb paint. Excellent fine spray which is v easy to use. Gives a repro of the original VW finish at a sensible price if you prepare well. Don’t bother with the cheaper stuff, just get this. My Golf wheels look like new – none of that ‘cheap repaint look’. I’m absolutely delighted Hungrycollie – brecon beacons

Invest in quality sandpaper. Because preparing your wheels’ surfaces is important for achieving smooth, even results, sandpaper is a vital tool.
