Reply to "Refinishing Campy Wheels"

Hi Larry,

I looked at Sherwin Williams' website and nothing about magnesium was mentioned as well. They only say that it "promotes excellent adhesion" and that it is direct to metal. I think there is a very limited market for bare magnesium specific primers and the manufactures do not put effort into such products. As I mentioned above, my painter was very comfortable with applying this primer, base, and clear coat to my bare wheels. If the paint job fails there is a possibility of getting Sherwin Williams involved. When wet sanding the primer today there was only indication of correct adhesion. My plan is to keep this car long term. If issues arise with this paint job I will make this forum aware of the problem.

I have to let paint cure for a while and plan to mount the tires next week. I will post a picture of the wheels on the car at that time.

Thank you, Steve
