I think I should have waited to paint my wheels

Yeah I did 3 coats of primer, 4 coats of wheel paint, and 2 coats of clear. This paint is made for wheels and many people have had great results with it. It's supposed to be really durable. I'm thinking the cool temps are causing all my problems....or I suck at painting lol

I wanted to get them powder coated but was trying to save some cash. I heard a lot of good things about this paint but it's not working out for me.

I got my rims painted black, I've had them like it since June...I do not have one chip on any of the rims and I drive it everyday. It has 3 coats of black on them. They have held up really well, so I think it all depends on how you go about doing them. The guy I got to do them is coming here tomorrow because I'm going to paint my S-Tune front like the guy with the TT kit. I'll ask him exactly what he did and tell you...

Here's a picture of my rims
