Engineering supplier.
For wheel paint, I would goto a Automotive paint supplier.
If they were my wheels, I would powdercoat them.

Its an industrial primer...we use it by the pallette load at work on all the weld joins etc
So is it good for smooth painting on metal etc jason? Using like a notmal primer etc?
Ive always thought it was a bit too industrial and have been a bit iffy about using it?
Cost me $70 last time for 5 rims (should have been $140, but it was friday...so i paid $70 in cash and pretended it never happened lol)

You could try it as an etch primer Matt but I would sand it before a base coat. Sticks to bare steel like a mofo though. 
I havent looked, but It may be enamel based so there is a risk that, if a acrylic base is used, it will 'fry up'. (fizzes and blisters while sytill wet)

Rims look good Chris but need some more clear for glossy goodness.
+1 to color code the scoop.
How do the Foz's go with the +55 offset? No drama's?

I think salt water got to it when I came from Japan n caused the oxidisation
I've got some metal cleaner that I'll try over the weekend
