Default Will one quart do all four?

Going to get my 16" wire wheels blasted, then paint. (after doing necessary body work.)

Plan on using Tacoma Cream enamel after properly priming.. At least two coats. Will one quart can of paint, properly diluted, do all four wheels?

You really need to make a proper fixture to spin the wheels. With proper wheel control you can get full coverage, practice with primer should give you a good idea what paint coverage will be. Bob

Even though some people overdue it you might consider powder coating the wheels. It makes a great job. Just don't go off the deep end and powder coat everything on the car. Wayne

I did 6 wheels with a pint, should have had a little more for an other coat. I used a engine stand and an old trailer hitch to spin and flip the wheel.
