1st step was to remove all the clear. I used a REAL tough paint remover for this... Nasty Stuff... Bubbled right up and came off with the help of a pressure washer.

I tried this paint on my white steel trailer wheels. You are right, that paint is awesome. Sprays on nice and dries fast.
I hit the wheels with a wire wheel on a 4" angle grinder, cleaned it off with mineral spirits, then followed your advice with etching primer and (graphite) duplicolor wheel coating. Looks great.
Thanks for the write up

How expensive is the paint? Im thinking it would work good on anything under the truck - diff covers, driveshafts etc. - might last longer than the regular rattle can paint.

I think I paid $7 or $8 a can yesterday @ Autozone. I brought it home and painted the rear diff cover on my truck. That paint seems to go a long way because it covers so well.
