I just had my front rims sandblasted & primered and I then brush painted the rims with New Holland M1J-957 SE3DS gray enamel. Believe it or not you cannot see a single brush mark! I just removed one of the discs from the rear rim(shot) and was getting ready to take a wire wheel to it. My question is (1.)will my paint job hold up on the front rims given the way I painted them ? and (2.) Without having a HVLP gun, can and should I be using an epoxy primer or is Rustoleum primer OK ?

1. Depends on what your paint is, I'm not familiar with NH paint. If it is alkyd enamel it will fade, if it is acrylic modified alkyd enamel or acrylic enamel it will hold up pretty good. 2. You will have better luck on the larger surfaces using a compressor powered gun, either HVLP or conventional. Epoxy primer is better than rustoleum.

CNKS, I took a look at the New Holland paint can(manufactured by CNH) and all it says is "grey enamel" so I"m not sure if it"s alkyd or acrylic. I"ll check a couple of auto supply stores and try to locate the epoxy primer. If I"m going through all the trouble of preparing them with a wire wheel and wet sanding I might as well try to do it the right way. Thanks for the info !

It is likely alkyd. I don't believe any equipment manufacturers sell acrylic because of the cost -- could be wrong. I don't think you will find any sandable epoxy primer. For that you need a surfacer over the epoxy. Or, you can skip the epoxy and use a good primer surfacer, although I favor epoxy. Note that I say PRIMER surfacer -- pure surfacer should not be applied over bare metal.
