wow 72-96 hours for recoat seems excessive.

there are a few other brands of wheel paints that are very close to the correct color, i used rustoleum wheel paint for the charcoal & silver & both colors look very nice & pretty close to the original charcoal. much faster drying & holds up to heat & brake dust etc. hard to beat at $5/can.

to avoid the scuffing potential some paints require, maybe just roughly mask the charcoal area to avoid getting silver in that area & just concentrate the silver spray on the face of the spokes that get silver, leave most the center area in primer?

heres a pic of the rustoleum wheel paint, these are hand masked, not the template & sprayed silver first then charcoal.
