Earlier this year i rubbed my wheels down, used a Primer/filler and several coats of Smooth Hammerite, i did a gentle rub down between every coat and after a week drying i took my bike on a 20 mile ride to get some nice new tyres. the tyre fitted put the bike on a ramp and then proceeded to show me where the paint had come off in several places, some patches were 5 or 6 cm's square. Very pissed of and will let a professional do it next time. I only did it myself to save the bearings but my fronts were knackered anyway so not much to save. I might do them again in a few years. Or not
