detailing fuchs - primer to use?

[Speed-Randy]

Ok, flat four wheels have a clear coat on them so unless you stripped that off then your not painting bare metal. If you did, then spray a light coat of a product called "bulldog" on them. It's an adhesion promoter, then spray a coat of black DTM, you don't need a sanding primer as you're not going to be block sanding them, the DTM is a sealer as well so a topcoat as soon as it "flashes" with whatever you're going to use, don't recommend rustoleum, but they're your wheels, so use what you want, I used acrylic enamel on mine

Does anyone know how shiny the fuchs was before they were anodized the first time?

Good question, but it looks like they're burnished, slightly polished, or they have a shine due to the forging process. Only a Fuchs employee can properly field this answer.

The company tells me that they will not re anodize any CAST wheels, as it ruins the wheels... but luckily the real fuchs were forged.

Precisely! DO NOT anodize cast wheels. They won't look right.
