Clearcoating Wheels

I have some 86 z28 rims which are beadblasted so there very clean right now and Im trying to figure out what to do with them.
I am thinking about just clearcoating them but I dont know how long that would last. Any suggestions?

Pretty much ever wheel out there is clearcoated. Including factory and aftermarket. You should be fine.

Don't use spraycan clearcoat or even paintjob clearcoat. Get a clear (2 part) that is designed specificly for wheels. I used a product from POR15 called Glisten PC. Here's a link.
