Prime them unless using hammerite

must use a primer for best results, allow 2/3 coats, if the steelies are in good condition then you'll get a smoother top coat on and a nicer finish

if there is so much as a speck of rust then you'll have to grind/sand it back to metel or it'll come through the paint, meaning you just wasted all that time and money lol (bitter experience lol)

are these for use instead of your alloys?! and yes primer! dont forget the wire brush if your wheels are anything like mine (Y)

definatly use primer and DONT be impatent cos that was my biggest problem. 2-3 coats then 4-5 coats of paint, lighty use wet and dry to get rid of the orange peel effect then a couple layers of laquer then agan wet n dry to get rid of orange peel efect. hope it helps
