<div dir="ltr">Terry, VHT does make a wheel paint, is that what you are looking at? I have used on my TR8 alloys, so far so good.</div>

<div dir="ltr">All right. I've done the research on the Triumph Experience website and elsewhere, including a post from myself in 2009 and another from 2006! Gadfrey. What I'm after this time is a bit more chip resistance.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br></div>
<div dir="ltr"><br></div>
<div dir="ltr">Powder Coating researches to be $250 or more. Too expensive for me.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br></div>
<div dir="ltr"><br></div>
<div dir="ltr">In terms of color, looks like Argent Silver is the color for wire wheels. I'll be sandblasting, then applying phosphoric acid over all to ensure treating any trouble spots, then priming and color painting with rattle cans, then top coating with clear coat.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br></div>
<div dir="ltr"><br></div>
<div dir="ltr">Am looking all over for reviews of the best rattle can paint. Several complaints that Duplicolor runs or is too rough a finish, with the sweet spot holding the can from the wheel very difficult to attain. Amazon very slightly shows preference for VHT Ford Argent Silver, but I can't find a comparison that includes Eastwood Ralley Wheel Paint.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br></div>
<div dir="ltr"><br></div>
<div dir="ltr">Anybody experience Eastwood wheel paint's resistance to chipping relative to competitors?</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br></div>

<div dir="ltr">As ever, thank you, everyone.</div>
