PLEASE NOTE: This kit contains liquids that can only be shipped by UPS ground. Due to this requirement we can only ship to the continental lower 48 States Sorry for this inconvenience.

Can be successfully applied to all Mercedes Alloy (non chrome) Silver Wheels from 1970 to 1995. 108, 109, 107, 114, 115, 116, 123, 201, 126 and 124 chassis. Most of us have to admit that stained and peeling paint on Mercedes alloy wheels is ugly on any model. Your eye tends to go right to the wheels. Even if the rest of the car is nice, bad looking wheels certainly can make your car look dated.

Painting them is not difficult. With the right paint and a few tips for proper application, you could have them looking like new in a couple hours or less. I have painted a few hundred of these over the years and have found a good compromise between cost and finished results. I can not argue that the proper way to paint a wheel would be to have the old paint striped, the aluminum properly etched, epoxy primer/sealer applied, correct silver base coat sprayed under controlled conditions and finally top coated with high quality urethane clear coat. The only problem with this it is very time consuming, very expensive, and bad for your health if you do not have the proper equipment to deal with 2 part paints.

I normally do not like nor use spray can paint products. Most have poor finish, adhesion and durability properties. There are some exceptions, which I have discovered after trying dozens of different spray can paints. The primer in my kit is the absolute best spray-can primer I have ever used. It has high build characteristics to fill minor imperfections, sands easily and provides a superior intermediate bond between the aluminum and the topcoat (both lacquer and enamel). The silver spray paint is the closest match I have found to the original factory color and has exceptional durability and cleans well without rubbing off. It will not last as long as 2-part urethane, but it does a great job for the price and effort - and is more than adequate for us who use our Mercedes as daily drivers.

Our kit contains enough product to do one set of 5 wheels with a little left over for touch up. You get one can of high build primer, two cans of silver enamel, 320 wet sandpaper, one tack rag and complete instructions. Note: If your wheels are peeling real bad or have a lot of flaws you may need an extra can of primer.
