      Clear coat for wheels

      What's a good clear for use on wheels, polished aluminum to be exact.

      I used the light gray to paint the centers of TT2's; holding up well so far.

      Also available in clear

      Just be aware that ANY coating you put over the aluminum will not protect it for long. Check out any clear coated OEM aluminum wheel and you will see what I am talking about.
      I wouldn't recommend painting your rims if you want to keep them nice.

      You want to use Glisten PC, it's made for polished metals and very hard to chip or scratch

      ppg dau75 works well lasts but, it looks thin will need multiple coats.

      Powdercoat clear is the best and its cheap. If you insist on a wet clear I actually recommend UPOL aerosol 1k clear. It is designed to go over bare aluminum.
