I used Duplicolor clear on mine, and it looks pretty good. Heard it last a good while too. Best bet would probably be to have it professionally done. But this is what mine looked like when I was done:

Re: clear coating a wheel

I am in the process of painting some z28 rims and I am using Duplicolor Wheel Coating and it makes the rims look brand new. I am going to use the Duplicolor Clear Coat on them as well. I will get some before and after pictures up for ya.
