Plan on sanding the wheels down, then primer, paint, and clear. At which point of this process should I use that stuff? Also, am I missing any steps in my process? How many coats of primer, paint, and clear should I use? Sorry for all the questions, but I get the feeling that you know a lot more about this stuff than I do. I'm planning on using Dupli Color's graphite wheel paint to get a similar gun metal color.

i usually try to remove all the protruding metal of the curbage first using a file, then clean the area with either paint-prep or rubbing alcohol. i suggest remove all wax from the rest of your wheels using alcohol at this point. then apply this stuff, let it dry. then take your sand paper and sand it smooth to match the contour of your wheel.
then wipe the wheel using a paper towel with just water, use a tack towel to remove the rest of the dust. then apply primer. atleast 2 coats. do the tack towel again to remove any loose primer. then hit it with you base coat followed by clear.
