During winter operation of the vehicle, all its parts, including wheel disks, are subject to strong exposure to reagents that are sprinkled on the roadway. From such exposure, the paint gradually cracks, peels off, and after a few years the discs lose their attractiveness. This is especially true for stamped discs made of steel, on which traces of corrosion also appear. What to do in such cases? The discs are essentially in perfect condition, throwing them away and buying new ones, no matter what, it’s basically not advisable from the point of view of financial costs. The best solution is to restore the paintwork. Even if you turn to a specialized workshop for this service, this operation will still cost less than buying new disks. But you can do it differently, you can do everything yourself. Moreover, this does not require any special materials or special skills or abilities; you will learn everything along the way.
In order to paint rims on a car with your own hands, you need to carry out preparatory work, as well as select a paint material.
Which paint to choose
Today, two types of paint are used to restore discs:
- Powder;
- Acrylic.
The powder composition has certain advantages, for example, paints of this type are more durable and resistant to mechanical stress. In addition, in the manufacture of alloy wheels at manufacturing plants, it is precisely powder coating. However, despite these advantages, the technology for applying such paint is quite complex and requires the use of specialized equipment (heat chamber and sandblasting). The fact is that dry powder is applied to the disc, which is fixed on the surface under the influence of high temperatures. There is another disadvantage of powder paint - when using it, you can only paint the entire product, and not its individual parts.
When using an acrylic composition, car enthusiasts will not have to face such problems. Acrylic paint has a brighter and more saturated color and palette, so you can choose the most suitable shade that will match the color of the car body. Painting car wheels using acrylic composition also has disadvantages. These include low resistance to environmental influences.
Based on the above, when deciding what to paint your rims with, it is better to give preference to acrylic compounds. You can find this kind of paint in any specialty store. When choosing a manufacturer, remember - it is better to purchase paint and varnish from the same company.
IN Lately For painting not only rims, but also body parts, another covering material began to be used - liquid rubber. In terms of cost, number of shades and mechanical strength, it is comparable to acrylic paint. It is even easier to apply than acrylic. The most famous brand is liquid rubber "Plasti Dip".
In addition to paints and varnishes, you will need other materials.
Necessary equipment and materials
If you choose the powder painting method, then first of all you will need a sandblasting machine, which is used to thoroughly clean the worn disc of old paint, dirt and dust. In addition, with the help of this device you can perfectly level the surface of the product.
Advice! Sandblasting can be replaced a regular drill with various abrasive attachments.
You will also need a heat chamber, which is necessary for “baking” the powder paint. It is impossible to replace this type of equipment at home, so you will have to fork out more or still use a cheaper painting method.
Painting car wheels with acrylic paint is simple and cheap way bring old disks back to life. To do this you will need to prepare:
- Brush;
- Washing powder or regular dish detergent;
- Sandpaper of different abrasiveness (from 200 to 600);
- Automotive finishing putty;
- Several cans of primer;
- Can of varnish (transparent);
- Can of solvent 646;
- Protective gloves, respirator and goggles.
As you can see, the second method requires much less financial costs, especially since most of from this list you already have in your garage. Once everything is ready, you can start working directly.
Car wheel painting technology
First of all, make sure that the room in which you will work is well ventilated. Acrylic and varnish are not the best best combination for good health. Wear goggles and gloves to avoid chemical burns and remove the wheels from the vehicle.
In order not to stain the tire, it must be sealed with masking tape along the rim. The adhesive tape must be applied as tightly as possible to the edge of the rim while simultaneously tucking it into the gap between the rim and the tire.
There is another option, you can remove the tires from the rim completely. If you are afraid to do this yourself, then you can contact a car service; this service will cost you little. Next, it is necessary to prepare the surface of the disks for subsequent processing.
Surface preparation
Use a brush and detergent to thoroughly remove old paint and varnish from the surface. To degrease the disc and remove paint residues, use a solvent or anti-silicone.
Advice! To get rid of the shabby paint and varnish material V hard to reach places use an awl or thin screwdriver.
After this, go over the surface with sandpaper. At this stage, there is no need to rush; it is better to sand every millimeter of the disc for a long time and thoroughly. Use coarse sandpaper first, and the finest sandpaper at the very last stage. The surface to be treated must be periodically watered with water to remove any remaining sanded material and to better polish the disc.
Advice! It’s also not worth cleaning discs with fanaticism, since minor roughness and cracks will in any case hide layers of paint and varnish.
Of course, the old disk will have numerous chips, dents and other defects, which can be eliminated using automotive putty. When it's dry, go over the surface again with fine sandpaper and pour water on the disc.
Primer
The degreased and cleaned surface must be primed. To do this, you need to start applying the primer first to the inner surface of the product, and then move on to the outer part.
Advice! While spraying, shake the primer canister periodically.
To ensure that the repair (painting) of discs is carried out efficiently, try not to rush. The primer must be applied evenly, while holding the container with liquid at a distance of 25-30 cm from the surface. After you have applied the primer, let the disc dry and repeat the procedure (2-3 coats will be enough). In order not to wait long after each application of primer, you can use a regular hair dryer. In any case, it is better to start painting the wheels only the next day.
Painting and varnishing
Before using varnish and paint, carefully read the instructions for use of these materials, as drying time for liquids may vary depending on the manufacturer.
Dried and primed diks must be placed on polyethylene so that during painting, dust and dirt do not stick to them. The technology for applying paint is the same as for primer - we start with inside products and then move on to the outer part. Apply 2-3 layers of paint, leaving the surface to dry for 15 minutes after each application. After that, wait 20-25 minutes and use the varnish. After the first application of varnish, it is necessary to check the surface of the discs for unevenness. If you find them, then go over them with fine sandpaper. Next, all that remains is to apply the final layer of varnish and wait until the product is completely dry (6-7 days). This completes the restoration of the discs.
In custody
Now you know how to paint wheel rims with your own hands. As you can see, this process does not take much time, and the money is several times cheaper than at a car dealership. The main thing is not to allow dust to settle on the newly painted surface, as this will greatly damage the appearance products. In all other respects, just work calmly and carefully and the result will please you.

Of course, painting rims car at a specialized station using special equipment, perhaps best option, it will allow you to achieve excellent results.
Moreover, one way or another, it will differ from painting wheels with your own hands at home. However, one should not assume that the second option is so hopeless and unacceptable. As a rule, the main difference between painting wheels yourself is your personal labor costs. Although, this is only the first time, and then look, it will be possible to perform a similar procedure several times a month.
How to paint car rims with your own hands in a garage?
Equipment
I suggest, first of all, to go through the materials and necessary equipment. An ordinary electric drill with a set of various attachments will act as a sandblaster. By the way, a set of attachments can later be used for polishing a car body, as well as for polishing glass, so don’t skimp, buy the right equipment.
Dye
Before painting, you will need a primer in cans. The paint should be acrylic, try to buy varnish and paint from the same manufacturer. Why acrylic paint and not powder paint? I won’t argue, powder paint has no equal, it’s perfect option, however, there is one caveat: the technology for applying this type of painting requires special, expensive equipment.
I doubt, however, that any of you have a miniature sandblaster or heat chamber in your garage. But who knows? If available, you should give preference to powder coating. Buy paint only from trusted authorized sales points, pay attention to the expiration date, as well as the amount of paint. Don't buy it back to back, it's better to stay.
Materials
The sandpaper should be of different grain sizes, from fine to coarse, it will be useful for preparatory work. Be sure to buy a solvent; you will need it to degrease the prepared surface. An old shirt or T-shirt will do as a rag - it doesn’t matter.
Now, you can, and as they say, from words to action... Let's start painting car rims with your own hands.
Surface preparation
The first step, of course, is to remove the old paintwork. Try to wash the disc as thoroughly as possible using a brush and washing powder. I think your wife won’t mind if you borrow a handful of the miracle remedy called “Ariel” or “Tide”, it doesn’t matter. It would be best, of course, if you use drill attachments and perform a “total” cleaning of the disk.
In order to paint the wheels yourself, the entire surface of the disk should be treated without exception. Therefore, do not hide the drill with attachments far away, we need it again. In hard-to-reach places, crevices and bends of the disc, work with your hands. While removing the old coating with sandpaper, occasionally rinse the disc with water.
Application procedure sandpaper should be like this: No. 200-400-600. After you finish sanding the disc, if necessary, you can use automotive finishing putty to eliminate minor defects on the surface of the disc. There will be defects in any way, since I doubt that you are going to paint the new disk, so minor “side effects” will be 100%.
Let's start priming the surface
Primer work is one of the the most important stages when painting car rims. As soon as the “stripping” and sanding of the disc is finished, treat it with a degreaser, solvent No. 646 will help you with this. After this, you can proceed directly to the priming process itself.
Important to remember! You need to start priming from the inside of the disc. The process of spraying primer, as well as all aerosol paints, should pass at a distance of 25-30 cm. Do not forget to chat (shake) the can from time to time. I think there is no need to explain that the primer layer should be uniform, do not overdo it.
Correctly, the primer should be applied in three layers. Make sure to allow each layer to dry properly for some time. As soon as the third layer is applied, I strongly recommend forcing it to dry. Since painting takes place, roughly speaking, “on your knees” in the garage, you certainly won’t have a heat-heated oven, so as an alternative, you can use an industrial hair dryer or, “in extreme cases,” your beloved wife’s hair dryer. How to take it from her - steal it, beg it, earn it - is your problem.
Do-it-yourself painting of car wheels and coating with protective varnish
The procedure for painting car rims is not fundamentally different from the priming procedure, so I see no point in repeating it. Do each of the stages sequentially, only now using paint. Remember safety precautions when using acrylic paint. Follow all the measures necessary to protect the skin of your hands, as well as other areas of the skin, take care of your eyes - use glasses.
The discs need to be coated with varnish in one or two layers, as I said earlier, it is advisable that the varnish and paint be from the same manufacturer. Apply the varnish according to the instructions on the package.
In theory, everything seems to have been missed. From now on, you can safely be proud of yourself, because you managed to paint your car's rims with your own hands. All that remains is to take the wheels to, and put the finished wheels on your car. Oh yes! Don't forget to thank your wife for technical support, and return the hairdryer with the powder to its place. (-:
As Henry Ford said, 80% of a car's appearance is its wheels. There are both cast and stamped options. Naturally, the first ones look much better. But today we will talk about how to make steel wheels no worse than cast ones. For this we do not need special tools or a special room. Moreover, it can be produced in an ordinary garage. Well, let's look at how to do this.
Choosing paint
The final result will depend on the correct choice. There are several paint options:
- Powder. As reviews note, they are the most durable. The composition is created on the basis of dry polymer material. Often, this technology for painting stamped wheels is used at the factory by the manufacturers themselves. This method is rarely used at home, as it requires a spray gun and special skills. The cost of the powder composition is the highest among others. Therefore, the question of its use on budget steel wheels remains open.
- Acrylic. Widely distributed among car owners. Typically sold in aerosol cans. They have high adhesion and can stay on the surface for more than a year. The cost of one can of acrylic paint averages from 200 to 500 rubles.
- Liquid rubber. This technology came to us from the USA. The method involves applying a rubber compound (not paint) to the surface of the disc. What is remarkable about this composition? Unlike powder and acrylic products, this coating can be removed at any time without damaging the previous, factory coat of paint. It looks like this:
However, the cost of a can of liquid rubber 2-3 times higher than acrylic. And the composition lies unevenly on the surface, forming streaks. Therefore, the most budget and practical option- This is a can of acrylic paint. You can choose any color - from banal black to pink or purple.
Tools and materials
Having decided on the paint, you should prepare the necessary set of tools and materials. For painting to be successful, we need:
- Primer (if the surface is cleaned down to metal).
- Sandpaper.
- Rust converter (in advanced cases).
- Degreaser.
- Protective gloves.
- A piece of clean rags.
As for specialized tools, this could be a drill with an abrasive attachment and a spray gun. The latter is expensive to use. In addition, working with it requires certain skills and experience. Spray paint is a great alternative to a spray gun. Moreover, if the operation is not performed in commercial volumes, once a year or even less often.
Preparation
The ideal option is to break up the tires. But this requires additional expenditure of time and money. In addition, not every motorist has a set of spare wheels. Therefore, work is often carried out on site. But painting stamped rims on the car itself is not the right decision. This will cause a lot of leaks. In addition, paint pollen can get on the arches and other body elements.
After removing the wheels from the car, we clean them of the previous paint. If you just need to change the color while the paintwork is completely intact, you can apply the composition without stripping. As practice shows, it adheres well to such a surface. But in this case, you shouldn’t apply primer - it simply won’t dry out. We perform priming only on bare metal. You can clean it either with a drill attachment or by hand, with a coarse-grained one. If there is rust, the area should be treated with a converter. Next, we degrease the surface. An anti-silicone product containing white spirit is suitable for this. The composition perfectly removes dirt, greasy deposits, as well as some acrylic paints.
Pasting
If you want to paint the “stamps” quickly, without removing the rubber, you need to properly glue its sides. You can do this in several ways:
- It’s trivial to paste it over all the places where the presence of paint is undesirable.
- With cards. We install them vertically in the groove between the sidewall of the tire and the disk shelf.
- Large A3 paper (the thicker the better). We arrange the sheets in a circle. We secure them with pieces of tape. You will get a kind of “drum” that will prevent paint from getting onto the sidewall of the tires.
- Old tires. We cut out the sidewall from an unnecessary tire of the same diameter and simply apply it to our wheel. This way we will prevent pollen from getting onto the surface.
Let's get started
After complete preparation, we paint the stamped discs. Shake the container thoroughly. Place the wheel on flat surface. If the disc has been stripped down to metal, first apply a primer. We make a developing layer at a distance of 40 centimeters.
It should be as thin as possible. After it dries, we walk around the perimeter again. But the layer should be thicker. We hold the torch at a distance of 25-30 centimeters. Typically, during priming, the composition is applied in three stages.
How to paint the wheels next? After the surface has dried (about 10 minutes for each layer), acrylic is applied. Similar to the previous case, first a surface application is made. After the developing layer, the entire disk is covered with paint. To speed up the drying process, you can use a home hair dryer. But do not bring it close to the surface (30 centimeters or less), otherwise drips may form. But the answer to the question of how to paint wheels with your own hands does not end there. There is one more important point.
The final stage of painting stamped discs is varnishing. The process of applying it is no different from priming or To give steel wheels the desired shine, two layers of varnish are enough. Its drying time is about 10 minutes. After this, we expect the final hardening of the paintwork. This usually takes 1-2 hours. Next, the disk is ready for installation.
How to hide defects?
It often happens that the paintwork has chips and scratches. But there is no point in deleting the entire layer. How to hide unwanted defects? To do this, we apply “anti-gravel” to the surface. Thanks to its shagreen, the composition will ideally hide all defects. It's simple and convenient.
So, we found out how to paint stamped wheels at home.
It's no secret that every motorist tries to keep his “swallow” in the best condition. This applies not only to issues of serviceability, but also to appearance. After all, if , it will bring in extra money.
One of the most noticeable elements of any car is the wheel rims. They are invisible when they look gray and dull, but they immediately distinguish the car from others when they are well-groomed and look original. But during operation, discs experience the greatest wear of any visible element - they suffer from countless holes and potholes, from impacts from gravel and chemical reagents that utility services sprinkle on roads.
As a result, sooner or later the wheels lose their original shine and acquire many scratches, chips, various stains appear on them, and the appearance of the entire car suffers. Painting can solve this problem, and any car enthusiast can do it at home. This will also protect the wheels from future troubles and significantly extend their service life.
Painting options for alloy wheels
Alloy wheels - and these are the ones most often used - can be painted different ways. The differences mainly lie in the use different types paints:
- Powder paint creates a durable and resistant to any impact coating. It is used by many manufacturers, which speaks for itself. The rims of a new car are most likely painted this way.
- Acrylic paint also creates a durable protective film, which will be able to withstand all troubles for a long time. It is easy to apply and is the most common method of painting at home.
- Nitroenamel is easy to apply, but does not last as long as acrylic. Suitable for quickly correcting cosmetic imperfections.
- – rubber-based paint; when applied, it forms a thin rubber film that reliably protects the painted part. Sold in cans in finished form and you cannot mix them to get a different color. Limited shades are the main drawback.
Since every car enthusiast wants to know how to paint his alloy wheels with at the lowest cost, then let’s briefly look at the features of each method.
The use of powder paint requires special equipment, and expensive one at that, so it is home use may not be considered.
Liquid rubber is still rarely used, mainly due to the difficulties of choosing colors, since the range on the market is still quite limited.
Acrylic paint and nitro enamel are sold in cans. It can be applied directly from the can or using a spray gun. You can mix different colors and get the desired shade. There are no difficulties in painting, but the acrylic coating is much stronger and more durable than nitro enamel. Therefore, car enthusiasts usually use it. We will consider this method.
Equipment and materials necessary for painting
Painting wheels is a responsible and step-by-step work, so you need to prepare in advance everything you might need. You need not only paint, but also many different things:
- Metal brush for cleaning disks from old paint, dirt, rust, and other contaminants.
- Sandpaper of different grits is needed for cleaning disks and eliminating scratches, chips, leveling the surface and final cleaning.
- Rags.
- Protective equipment – gloves, goggles, respirator.
- Solvent or acetone.
- Putty.
- Putty knife.
- Polyethylene, paper - to cover areas that do not need to be painted.
- Acrylic paint in cans – specialized for rims.
It’s great if you can use it for grinding special devices – grinder or a drill with a special attachment, a sandblasting machine. You can use them for painting - they simplify the work and allow you to quickly get a high-quality result, although simply using paint cans is also quite acceptable.
For quick drying desirable to have heat gun or a hair dryer. An ordinary household hair dryer will do, if nothing more powerful is available.
The room should have good ventilation, because paint is a rather toxic substance, even when using a respirator good ventilation necessary. Must have good lighting. It is very undesirable to work outside due to the presence of dust.
Procedure for painting discs with acrylic paint
Wheel painting – step by step process, which is divided into two large parts: preparing the discs and actually painting. You need to approach them with all responsibility, because any defect will affect the quality of the coating.
Of course, before work you need to remove the wheels from the car. Please note that it takes several days for the varnish to gain optimal strength. Therefore, work should be carried out when no urgent trips are planned.
Painting alloy wheels is quite possible with your own hands; it is not difficult. No assistant required.
Preparing alloy wheels for painting
Before painting, the disc needs careful preparation. It needs to be washed well and can be used if necessary. household chemicals. It is highly advisable to remove the rubber, although as a last resort You can paint with it, but then you will have to carefully insulate it with paper and tape. If you strictly follow the sequence of actions and take your time, then alloy wheels painted at home will look no worse than new ones.
- It is advisable to hang the disk in such a way that there is maximum convenient access to any of its surfaces.
- Metal brush, sandpaper or sandblasting machine old paint is removed. Then you need to carefully sand chips, scratches and other defects.
- If necessary, cracks should be sealed using argon welding, and the seams should be cleaned and sanded.
- The uneven areas need to be filled with putty, and when the putty is completely dry, the uneven areas must be sanded down.
- Wash the disc under running water.
The surface of the disk is processed, leveled, and then comes the primer before painting.
- Use a rag soaked in solvent to degrease the entire surface.
- Apply the primer in 2-3 layers from a can or using a spray gun, while making sure that there are no missed spots or spots.
- For faster drying, you can use a hair dryer or heat gun.
- After the first layer has completely dried, the primer is applied again - this will be the final layer.
- After drying, use fine-grained sandpaper to remove any resulting irregularities.
- Repeat degreasing with solvent.
Now you can start the actual painting.
Applying paint and varnish to alloy wheels
This process is simple, but we will give a few useful tips, since it is very important to paint alloy wheels correctly - any mistake will be visible and the appearance of the entire car will suffer.
The paint is applied in 1-2 layers, allowing each layer to dry completely. You can use a spray gun or a can of paint. When painting, they need to be kept at a distance of about 40 cm from the disk, repeating its relief so that the distance does not change and the paint is applied evenly.
You need to start with inner surface, since the paint will still leak onto the outside and form streaks on it. These drips must then be wiped off with a rag containing solvent and the outer surface painted.
After the last layer of paint has completely dried, varnish is applied, also in 2 layers, with each one thoroughly dried. When the varnish is completely dry, you need to wait another day before putting on the rubber.
Please note that the varnish coating acquires optimal hardness only after a few days, so during this period it is better to refrain from traveling, or at least avoid off-road driving, where there is a risk of scratching the fresh coating.
As you can see, the process of painting alloy wheels is not that complicated and is quite possible at home. Despite its simplicity, when the technology is implemented, the coating turns out to be of quite high quality and beautiful.
Quite often, car owners express a desire to restore their wheels in order to restore them to their former attractiveness. And if usually no one bothers with classic “stampings”, being content with treating the surface with spray paint, or just a brush, then with cast models everything is a little more complicated. In the absence of painting experience, questions often arise: is it possible to restore or change the paintwork on light-alloy wheels, and how to do this? You can find detailed answers in this article, which we hope will become a good step-by-step guide.
What should I check before painting?
Restoring the exterior of a disc is usually resorted to in cases where its surface has been scratched or worn out during use. In addition, the paintwork sometimes deteriorates under the influence of reagents and an aggressive external environment, and because of this, the wheels take on an unpresentable appearance. Also, many “gourmets” repaint the wheels to match the tuning of the car body.
In any case, before painting, you should check the disc for any deformations that may occur during prolonged use, heavy loads and impacts, which is not difficult at home. To do this you will need to inspect:
- All surfaces are checked for cracks and dents.
- Check the rims for chips.
- Places of adhesions, if any remain after repair.
In addition to a thorough visual inspection, you should carry out. Small deviations in the readings of a broken or crumpled disk are, in principle, acceptable, and then you can start painting. If the damage to the disc is significant, and the balancing shows significant deviations from the norm, then you should think about purchasing new wheels.
Required Tools
Companies specializing in this field, before painting the disc, remove the old paint coating from its surface using sandblasting machines, and then powder paint and a special varnish are used. The whole process in this case is automated and is not suitable for home use.
If the decision is made, and painting will be carried out on our own, then you need to stock up on the following tools and materials.
- Fine and medium sandpaper, grit 400-630 and 63-80 microns. It will be stripped of the old paintwork.
- Solvent or white spirit, which will be used as a degreaser for the cleaned surface.
- Destroyer for old paint, as well as a brush or brush for applying it.
- Spray cans of paint (2-3 pieces) and special varnish.
- Primer and spatula.
- Masking tape.
In addition, of course you will need detergents, respiratory mask and work clothes. This minimum required can be picked up in any specialized store or car market.
Selection of materials
As for the choice of paint, varnish and primer, things are as follows. Automotive enamel will the best option for painting wheels. It is advisable to choose a heat-resistant one, which also sprays like an aerosol. It is sold in cans. You can also use heat-resistant enamel in jars, but to apply it evenly you will need a spray gun, which is an extra expense. Many people believe that only basic colors (silver, black and white) are produced for these purposes and are mistaken. There are no restrictions, and the widest palette of paints is available on the market. Choose the tone and shade that your soul desires. Primer and varnish should be purchased along with paint. Most manufacturers offer some kind of kit, where all three components come in one line. Thus, they all fit harmoniously, and you will save time on searching and selecting components. It is desirable that the soil is also heat-resistant. The varnish will perform a protective function for the new coating, and also give the disc shine. The disc can be painted completely (front and back surfaces, as well as the rim) or only on the outside. In the latter case, restoration will cost approximately:
- 2 cans of paint.
- 1 can of primer.
- 1 can of varnish.
If you paint the entire disc, then the consumption of materials, and therefore costs, will increase by 3-4 times. Now decide for yourself whether it’s worth it or not.
Preparatory work
First of all, you will have to completely remove the peeling paint layer. To do this, first, you should wash off old paint, applying paint remover with a brush. Next, you need to wait about a quarter of an hour, after which the paint will begin to swell and come off, which will allow us to remove it with a spatula. This remover does not work as effectively on the soil layer, so you should get rid of it with sandpaper. 
On the cleaned surface, you can leave some of the old soil in hard-to-reach places. However, you must make sure that it is held securely on the disk.
If you are painting the rim of an unmounted wheel, the contour of the rim over the rubber should be sealed with masking tape. This will save you from subsequent washing of the tire, which, one way or another, will get paint components. The last stage preparation is to degrease the surface of the disc with a solvent or “White spirit”.
Dyeing process
We divide the entire painting procedure into three stages.
Primer
A layer of soil is applied to the disc by spraying from a can from a distance of 30-35 centimeters from the surface. When applying, care should be taken to ensure that the substance does not leak. You need to apply several layers, with 10-15 minute intervals between each application. It is important to know that after finishing priming, it is best to wait 12 hours until the primer is completely fixed on the surface of the disk. This will ensure maximum good result, and will save you from disappointment in the future. 
Dye
Paint is applied in the same way as with primer. The same 30-35 centimeters from the spray point to the surface of the disk, the same 3 layers, the same 15 minute intervals between application of layers. The only difference is that you don’t have to wait 12 hours after dyeing. One hour will be enough.
Varnish
Varnishing front side disk is the final stage the entire cosmetic restoration process. The varnish is applied in 1-2 layers, about which you can read in more detail on the can of a specific manufacturer. There should be no difficulties, since you have already done similar manipulations with primer and paint. Next, let the varnish dry, and you can put on your “steel stallion” shoes. 
In conclusion, let's just say that DIY painting the entire set of discs will cost you 10 or even more times cheaper than the cost of similar work in a car service center. This is the savings.
