I am painting my iroc and am also doing the rims b/c the car had the black and gold package on it. i was wondering when i paint the car and rims if i could put clear coat over the rims(even the aluminum face part of the iroc rims) or would it distort the shine of the aluminum?

 

i wondered if you could to that with chrome????

 

my guess would be that it wouldnt distort it, but i dont know how long it would stay in good condition.

 

i dont know if staying in good condition would be the problem b/c i would think that the clear coat would protect if anything and you could just buff it a couple times a year like your regular paint on the car. If the shine would still come through on the aluminum or chrome then i think it would be protected, but i dont know?
