-I have a set of Chrome Wheels that I want to Paint to match my Vehicle.
-I am unsure if I should use an etching primer or epoxy before a urethane primer.  What proceedure would anyone recommend?
-I was going to try teh following:
-- scuff chrome with 120-180 grit sanding sponge
-- etch prime (Varaprime 615S)- 1 coat
-- urathane prime (PPG k36)- 2 coats
-- sand 600grit
-- basecoat (PPG Evirobase HP) - 3 coats
-- Clearcoat (PPG DC3000 or Dc4000) 2-3 coats
-Any thoughts on my procedure?  What if I need to use of polyfill (or other)... will this cause a problem if I apply an etching over it.
-Thanks, Scott
