    Spraymax 2k paint over Engine paint

    I have Duplicolor (might be VHT) black gloss engine paint on a set of wheels... I have a can of 2K going out of date on the shelf & thought I might go over the wheels before I fit new tyres...

    The wheels were painted at least 6 months ago (maybe longer) & have been sitting on my shelf so the engine paint should be cured.

    From memory there is Duplicolor Etch primer (the green stuff) underneath it.

    Wondering if I should hit them with it or be satisfied with what I've got. - I've had luck with 2k over Duplicolor black - same as a lot of others

    I just unwrapped a front fender painted a few months back to find a paint reaction causing crazing but that was Duplicolor black over the top of 2K.

        I might just hit them... Even if they craze nobody will notice with the frequency I wash my vehicles...

          Mud is cheaper than paint, and it looks better too.
