Save up more dollar for some professional paint. No point wasting money on cheap products when the crappy paint will look poo poo anyway (wasted job)

If it's for painting anything to do with a car don't cut corners unless you can help it.
Most paint places charge about a tenner a can.
One thing i will say tho, the same size can from paint4u seems to go a hell of alot further way than halfords ones, mainly down to the nozzle i imagine

I would recommend them for a good quality product and good colour matches.
For wheels i wouldn't buy shite paint as it will just react or flake off.

Call a few local powdercoaters and see what they would charge to powdercoat the wheels

reason for doing it myself is to save money. had i had the money i wouldn;t have spent 2 weeks rubbing the wheels down and a further week removing the shit on the back of the wheel. would have paid someone to do it for me, but i like a challenge.

Yeah but as you have done the prep you may be able to get em powdercoated for like £60 if you get lucky
