Thanks for that info. The reason I ask is that I had used Sherwin Williams automotive division paint on a basecoat of primer on my RSX S rims, then clearcoated them with over the counter stuff from Autozone, specifed for rims. All four rims have crazed clearcoat. I will be re-doing the rims in the Spring and can't decide how to go about it. Powdercoating would be ideal, but there are small bits of filler (curb rash) that are not metalized. From what I understand, the powdercoating wouldn't take. I'd have to grind that off and fill with welding material instead.

If I were to paint them again, it would be a lot easier, but it seems the finish doesn't hold up.

I have no direct experience, but I see that Eastwood is now selling a specialty spray can with a catalyst inside a secondary chamber, giving you the durability of a real 2k paint.

Hey thanks for your reply Michael. I did see that system on my own, and noted that they have primers and clears, but no base coats. Do you suppose that I could use the EW 2k grey primer, my own Sherwin Williams basecoat and then EW 2k clear? This is the base I used before:

I would imagine that would be fine, since interactions are usually from the basecoat solvent reacting with the primer. A catalyzed primer should have no issues with strong solvents over it.

If you repaint the rims that are crazed without stripping to bare, the crazing will re-appear. Unfortunately it would all have to come off, then prime and paint. For the best surface finish, sand the primer after curing with p500-p600 and finish with a grey scotchbrite, blow and tack rag before spraying the basecoat.

A quick call to Eastwood might be an idea, they are generally pretty helpful.

Thanks. I plan to strip them bare with some paint stripper and steel wool. The painting is such a process. Wish I could strip and powder-coat. Eastwood has a cheap setup for that, and it would last longer. I have an old electric oven good for one wheel at a time too. Oh well, I have plenty of time to think it through as I won't get to this until Spring, if it ever comes.
 
And I just ordered a different dual band WiFi card for it in order to have integrated Bluetooth. It is about the same price as a USB nano receiver.

It's the best price after doing extensive researching. Lol. Plus there's a 5% off discount and shipping that costs less than $3.
