I updated two of the wheel pictures to show the finish over a black base versus a light gray. 90% of our customers apply the Hypersilver over a black base.

You will want to use a gloss black automotive urethane base for the Hypersilver. There are different methods to create a gloss black urethane base. (1) Black base coat/ 2K clear coat, (2) Single stage black 2K urethane or (3) black primer/2K urethane clear coat.

You are basically going to paint the wheels to look like a gloss black factory car finish.

An 8oz bottle would work. It will need to be sprayed through an airbrush, detail gun, touch up or hvlp. The paint comes ready to spray.

Powdercoat will work. Either polyester or urethane gloss black powdercoat. After the hypersilver is applied you will want to topcoat it with a powdercoat clear, urethane automotive clear or a simple spray can clear coat(would be my last pick). I would just do a few small test panels before you tackle the wheels.

Too bad I don't have a G35 coupe anymore to get some rolling shots. I miss that car.
