Paint

How much paint would I need to do 2-3 coats per rim on 17in rims? I will be painting with a spray gun/compressor.

depends on how close your sealer is to your color your wanting to paint. Without knowing that Id say buy a quart which is 32oz unreduced. Which is a around, 48oz sprayable reduced 2:1. Then you would need clear, PPG CeramiClear resists scratches, mars and acid etch. Or whatever you prefer that's just what I trust on my rims at least.

So I need to buy the paint and mix it with a reducer before spraying?
I will prep wheels, prime them, spray 2-3 coats of paint+reducer mix, then a few coats of clear. Sound good? Thanks for info BTW.
