Refinished Turbo Twist Wheels with Wurth Silver Wheel Paint. Not happy...

Looks dry sprayed, like you held the can too far away. Did you do this out in the sun? Heat is a big factor.

I painted the wheel in my garage with the doors opened up for ventilation. The temperature ranged about 75-90 throughout the day. I tried to make sure I held the can about 10 inches away pretty consistently although I'm sure there was some fluctuation.

My 2 cents: The can/s of spray paint were mislabeled that's why the color is so dark . Or they were knockoffs of the real thing . The end finish ( clear coat ) was applied too dry .

Silver in rattle cans go bad faster than other colors due to the resins drying in the cans and you can't shake the flakes back up. I've had these happen several times. So basically you are spraying what will mix up. Your sanding looks really good. If you could prep them again and carry them to someone that paints local and have them spray they. Shouldn't cost but a couple of hrs labor plus the paint they use. I like BASF RM products for wheels. I use the basecost with clear hardner. Its not as durable as powdercoat but will last yrs if treated like the paint on your car. If you find someone I can give you the mixing ratio I use.
