1. Scuff with red scuff pad to break any polished or gloss.

2. Primer with DAP1690 Self Etch primer

3. I am not sure on the color of white you are after so I am going to recommend our White Wheel Paint HWP100. It is a glossy paint. Test spray first.

4. Clear coat is optional

Install the wheels back on the vehicle and let the heat from the brakes bake the enamel. It will get very hard.

Thanks

only use the rim paint over the self etch primer, use a heat gun after it air dries to "bake" it on.
