Have brought the Acid #8 primer ready to paint my RS2000 wheels, but i read that after I applied the main colour it will need laquer (which I
brought)
The thing is I brought gloss black paint and it says paint will need matting down with light glass paper before laquer.
So should I swap the gloss for matt black or just laquer over the gloss?
I have alloy silver paint too for the inner faces of the wheels and will laquer over that too.
Thank you.
generall the laquer will require you flat the paint work for a good key, let the paint harden then light flat with p 800 or p1000 dry thoroughly then laquer. If using cans I heat them slightly in a pan of hot water this increases the spray pressure
If you have bought gloss you wont need lacquer

How do you clean the old paint off? I have tried wire brush but can not get right in the corners.
The paint is realy thick in places with runs so I can not just paint over it. 
Best way to remove old paint is to bead blast or use nitromores paint stripper. This is a messy job so blasting recommended.

no need to protect polished area, but it does nasty things to the tyre if left on there.
Thanks.
Thats ok then as I have already removed the tyres so they can be completely refurbed.
Maybe too late, but if you paint the interior, you reduce the possibility of leaks due to porous castings. (very rare now, but if you already have the tires out...)
Yes I have decided to remove the tyres so I cn paint the inside of the rim (what you wont see because tyre covers)
I did think too that it was a possibility as thats where its leaking through.
