In an ideal world you would blast them, epoxy primer, and then a 2k top coat within the recoat window.
You don't say what is on them currently? If they have some rubbish black undercoat stuff, like all the other parts seem to, id go with the above, but, you will probably just want to apply another worthy undercoat over the rubbish black stuff and go from there. If they have a nice 2k finish on them already that's otherwise sound, but just the wrong colour, abrade, and then proceed with your new colour. |

Note that isocyanates are, despite what you tube may tell you, are dangerous.
UK regs specify air fed breathing apparatus only for commerical painters, but, obviously you can do what you wish in your own garage. ...but don't do it in a garage. Or any enclosed space. Regardless of what the print on your chosen, ill fitting, mask actually says! : ) |

Last set of genuine new wolf rims I bought from my dealer, the front face had a fairly good coat of black, the back was barely covered in primer.

No, since they are brand new, just flat them and paint.
Oslo is a metallic. So if your rims are black, good to go. If they are white, use a dark undercoat. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing 2012 90 CSW, 2.2TDCI, Santorini Black |
