Default Wurth silver lacquer paint is WURTHLESS!!

Both cans of the stuff I have spray for sh*t!! It sputters and splats out, and then decides to clog (or something). I give it a shaking and blow at the nozzle and it works again for a few seconds. I gave them back to my shop friend to throw at the Wurth guy when he comes in...and try to get my money back or get WORKING paint cans. If I want to respray the two I did, I gotta start all over (strip paint, reprime, sand, silver, and clear). I'm bullsh*t, I was finally going to finish the Avus wheels up and get em mounted/balanced at Rockville Audi this weekend. I ordered the tires yesterday and they came in today, but NOW what the hell am I gonna do!? Maybe I'll just buy new wheels. :/

Sorry for the rant, life sucks lately.

Default same here...In the past 9 months I have gone through 8 cans...2 were completely useless, I returned

them...and actually got a free can from autopia...If you remember my rims from the last annapolis GTG, my rims look like crap...they look worse now since I had tires mounted...I have two cans to redo my rims, but I have not had time to fix them...I hope that the cans that I have work...I think something happens when they are shipped from germany...They may be rotating their stock and giving the old cans to the US...let me how your painting goes...

Default I had good luck w/ 1Z Silber Spray which is supposedly made by Wurth...

When I was trying to order the Wurth to re-do my Speedline wheels, Autotopia told me it was from the same company. I had decent results using it:

Default I did two of them with 3 coats of clear...they're decent from about 30 feet away. :/

I just need to decide now wether to get another can of that tripe and paint the other two OR strip the two back down and do them (and the now primed other two) with the Yota silver and some quality clear. Bollocks!!
