Spraying wheels NH-0. Do I need lacquer?

[Ryan-EK9]

Hi, sorry if this has been posted before but I can't use the search due to me being on my iPhone.

As title says, do I need lacquer for spraying my wheels (ill be using an aerosol can if that makes a difference) or can I just sand, prime and just spray?

Any help would be appriciated.

Yes use lacquer better finish and more resistant to scratches and chips.

I would use a clear coat. When I done the wheels on my 888 Astra in CW I put loads of clear on. It seems to make the wheels much easier to clean as the brake dust sits on the clear instead of in it, if that makes sense?

I am just doing my wheels now, one at a time. Definitely use lacquer, otherwise the paint won't last a fortnight...

Thanks for the help guys

Don't spray too close with the clear. It will run otherwise lol
