## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many cans do you suggest I purchase to do four Accord wheel covers?**
A: Start out by degreasing the covers.  Use a good primer,  I use Rustoleom,  I would suggest 2 cans of PlasticKote 621 Silver and then a can of Clear Coat.  I use Eastwood Clear Coat.  Hope this helps

**Q: Is it waterproof?**
A: yes when properly applied'

**Q: do i have to add a primer or base coat?**
A: As long as you clean and properly prep the surface, no base coat or primer is needed. We use it directly on bare aluminum and cast iron with no primer and it works great

**Q: Do I have to take the tires off to spray the paint on the rims?**
A: As long as you mask off the tires to prevent overspray you do not need to remove the tire.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GREAT ALTERNATIVE
*by K***D on December 20, 2019*

bought this silver argent wheel paint and a can of primer to do my wheel covers for a 2007 Honda civic, I could have bought brand new from Honda at a ridiculous price for each one, or after market for a little less ridiculous price, so I decided to prime and argent paint my own and let me tell you they look better than expected at a fraction of the price. this is great wheel paint, results were fantastic. highly recommend
