Mitch Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Dad and I just had are wheels respoked and want to paint them with a automotive topcoat of paint. What type of prep work should we do? Thank you Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronbarn Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 After appropriate sanding, I recommend application of a coat of Kwik-Poly (formerly called RSP). This is a very low viscosity epoxy that soaks into the cells of the wood. It seals and protects the wood. It has a very fast set up time so will require mixing small batches and working it on in small sections. Then more sanding and then apply a suitable sanding primer then the top coat of you choice. I would use acrylic enamal with harderner for flexibility and excellent gloss coating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
