Wasn’t happy with how they looked the 1st time, so I had them blasted and did them again. This is before clearcoat:

Then I got them cleared:

3 good coats of clear and they look like glass:

Now I’m happy with them ;)

Damn, that’s some good shine.  Hopefully with the 3 coats of clear it’ll be a pretty durable finish.

It’s actually Napa brand clear. It’s all we use anymore. It’s cheap, gives a great shine, and seems to hold up well.

They need to be replaced, that’s why I didn’t worry about getting paint on them.

I’ve had really good luck respraying wheels with auto clear.

The wheels on my van still look good after 4 yrs of being used year round.

Custom bro!

Tires are junk, so I didn’t care.

Is that a two part clear?  If it’s got hardener, it should hold up great.
