I have been running it on my truck rims for about a year and still looks like i just put it on. I did this after watching alot of utube videos on the stuff.

I'm thinking of doing the stock wheels on my '07 FXD. It sounds like I'd be fine just leaving everything assembled and on the bike and taping and masking everything that I don't want painted around the wheels. Is this correct?
Also, can anyone give me an estimate of how many cans I'll need to give a good even coverage and 4-6 coats on both wheels?
Thanks in advance for any help and thanks for sharing this idea!

Also, if you have a way to spin the wheels at a slow speed for at least the first few minutes of each coat, your finish will come out great, and use LIGHT coats- Go Gung-Ho with thick coats and you'll have craters.

I bought the last 7 cans on the shelf at Lowes. So far I have used 3 of them to do everything I did (lowers, trees, battery box cover, signals). I have done the lowers and the trees 2X with those 3 cans and I still have some left over. I am keeping the other ones for winter when I will either redo what I have done or simply re-coat it.
