I just dropped the wheels off at the sand man,be done tomorrow morning.I'm gonna go with Rustoleum,either the canvas or antique.Not sure what one yet???

I am very happy with the DupliColor Whimbledon White. It's available at NAPA stores and others. I never tried the Rustoleum colors mentioned.

I personally think the antique white is a little too dark for the later model tractors. I've heard that the canvas white (Rust-Oleum) or ivory are a closer match.

Well i picked up the wheels from the blaster($5-each),then went to get some paint.I couldn't find the canvas white anywhere!!!I went home and looked through my supply's and found 1 can of Valspar primer and 1 of gloss white(both tractor paint)that i bought for a project last year.After letting them bake in the sun for a while,i shook them up and went to town.Here's a pic of the sandblasted wheels,and one after being sprayed.

approximately how many rattle cans does it take to do the rims? I'm going to do my front and rear rims soon. Thanks in advance.

I did all 4 with just one can of white and 1/2 can of primer.

All depends on the brand of paint.It took a full can of the Valspar tractor paint from TSC to do the fronts.The rears will take a bit more,not looking forward to it!

[sammiefish 2]

to answer the Q it depends how fussy you are.... i did the top of my rear fenders with 2+ cans of valspar AC orange of course it took my 4+ coats till i was almost happy.... : ) i need a sprayer setup!!!!

[dentwizz 6]

I get pretty good coverage with Tru Value's brand of "heirloom White" on wheels. 1 can does a few wheels in 2 coats.

[s_stephen 526]

I use two and a half cans of valspar paint to paint all four wheels and thats three coats each.
