Apply the primer, then use any colored spray paint on top to customize your look! Update it every 6 months with your personal touch and give your car a pop of color. 

Step 1: Clean the rims with soapy water and dry thoroughly. 

Step 2: Tape off any areas you won't want to paint. Shake Peelable Primer vigorously for one minute after mixing ball begins to rattle.  

Step 3: Over a drop cloth, hold the Peelable Primer can 8-12” from the rims and spray in a steady back-and-forth motion, slightly overlapping each stroke until the entire area is covered. 

Step 4: Apply 3 or more coats of primer, waiting about 2-5 minutes between coats. After applying the last coat, immediately peel off the painter's tape to ensure clean edges.

Step 5: Let the Peelable Primer coating dry for at least 4 hours before applying the colored spray paint. 

Step 6: Shake the can of spray paint for one minute after the mixing ball rattles and apply paint to the rims the same way the primer was applied. Let dry about 20 minutes between coats and apply 2 or more coats of spray paint for full coverage. 

Step 7: Unmask after a few minutes of final coat, then let all paint dry for at least 4 hours before use.

TIP: Remove Peelable Primer within 6 months for best results.
