I did the factory Japanese-made VW Santana wheels we fitted to our
diesel 89 Corona taxi.


Cleaned them thoroughly on the car with wheel cleaner & a toothbrush
, masked the tires from the edges of the rims and sprayed them with
wheel paint. Several years and 300,000km later the paint hasn't come
back off.
