Hey guys, I'm skipping out on the powdercoating to save some money. I have already removed the factory alloy finish. My question is what is the most durable paint that comes in rattle can? I have already primered the wheels so I'm just waiting on advice regarding the paint. I am painting LX470 16" alloy

Thanks in advance!
 
I'll let you know what I find out

I just finished tonight doing the same on a set of 2007 tundra alloys for my 2003 cruiser. I ended up going with the Duplicolor in the OEM Black. They make a Wheel specific paint but there was nothing in black in in town. I am assuming that with wheels, regardless of brand, it is going to require an annual touch up.

I've used duplicolor wheel paint on other vehicles with good results! You may want to hit the wheels first with some of their self etching primer (green cap) if you have stripped the factory paint completely. Usually I'll just scuff up the original paint with a red scotch pad to give the new paint something to bite to since the oem paint is well adhered to the metal.
