Metallic Graphite – Produces and ultra-modern finish that will transform alloy wheels. Our high tech coating contains metallic particles that give greater definition, highlighting the design and contours of your alloy wheels.

Bavarian Dark Anthracite – Is immediately recognizable as the Germanic performance wheel colour of choice. It offers subtle aggressive styling that delivers a really powerful look to your alloys.

Metallic Midnight Black – Is a rich deep black gloss paint blended with ultra-fine metallic particles producing a wheel finish that especially in sunlight looks fantastic, creating a unique individual look.

Surface preparation:

We recommend that you remove the wheel to be painted from the vehicle. Please ensure that you follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations to perform this task. If you are not confident in removing the wheel safely please contact a qualified mechanic.

Clean the wheel thoroughly; remove all traces of brake dust, silicone, polish, wax, dirt, grease etc. Use a cleaner non-injurious to paintwork e.g. Pre paint degreaser. We recommend using our E-Tech Technik Surface Deep Cleaner (Part No: ER00102).Dry the wheel thoroughly.

Using a medium grade abrasive paper or file, remove any flaking lacquer or paint that has lifted or bubbled and sand back any oxidized aluminium. If you have any deep scuffs, scratches or dents we recommend you fill them using E-Tech Alloy Wheel Putty (Part No AWP-01). This can be shaped and sanded easily to repair the wheel surface. End the prep work with a light sanding using a fine grade abrasive paper for a smooth finish. Wash and dry the wheel thoroughly to remove any dust and debris.

Mask off the tyre or any area that you do not want to be painted or that is subject to overspray i.e. tyre valves, centre caps etc.

Before painting (with Alloy Wheel Paint) we recommend that you apply 2-3 coats of E-Tech Technik Repaired Surface Primer (Part No: ER00109). Please note, VERY IMPORTANT, if you have areas of bare alloy you will need to prime them with our E-Tech Technik Self-Etch Primer (Part No: ER00112) to ensure that the paint will adhere to the alloy. Once primed allow to dry before lightly sanding with a fine grade abrasive paper.

• If you are not sure about the colour compatibility carry out a test spray on a small inconspicuous area similar to that being painted to check you are happy with the colour. Please note this is an acrylic based paint.

Painting instructions

• For best results ensure the can is at room temperature before use (approx 17°C to 21°C).

• For best results spray in a warm, dry and dust free area.

• Shake can vigorously for a minimum of 2 minutes.

• Hold can 20-30cm (8″-12″) from surface and spray using a smooth side to side motion.

• Slowly build up the layers with several thin coats allowing approximately 10 minutes between coats to dry to a tacky film.

• Shake can between coats.

After use turn the can upside down, spray until the nozzle is clear or remove the nozzle and soak in thinners.

*Want a showroom finish – then we recommend using the E-Tech Clear Coat Lacquer, Part No AWL-187216. This dries to a hard hi-gloss, wet-look finish and seals the painted surface. Allow a minimum of 24 hours for paint to dry before applying the lacquer.
