Chaps
If my wheels are currently in good condition but I want to paint them a different colour.. can I just key the stock paint and just lay the new paint down or should you always put a primer in between?
Cheers

Depends on what it's been painted with in the past as fresh paint can sometimes "reactivate" the existing paint. I've done many sets of wheels and some have reacted. For piece of mind, I'd prime em and flat it over with 800 wet and dry to get a really smooth finish.

I would prime, even when I touched up my alloys I primed, I have seen some really bad reactions to different kinds of paint being used.

its not even the old paint thats the problem , id say its more the brake dust etc , even after a flat down and clean there will be some so prime them to make sure,.
