have a paint supply shop put some clear in a rattle can for you and hit them up with a few coats, keep them protected from debris!! btw looks great.

What type of paint and primer did you use? If you could give a quick step-by-step that would be awesome. Something along the lines of:

- sanded with X
- # coats of X primer
- sanded again with X
- # coats of X paint
- final sanding
- clear?

the finish was like new on the wheels so i scuffed them with a 3M pad.
then applied black primer and went over with 3M pad again and 1000 grit.
then waited till dry.
applied the dupli-color bronze 3 cans taking breaks so there are no runs.
then applied the clear coat soon after (the color becomes lighter with the clear i think)

i'll take a look at them tomorrow to see what else i need to do with them maybe polish compound and wax.
