I've used Rustoleum before. It is a decent product. POR 15 is better. Make sure you prep the wheels before painting them.

It's really lasted on my wheels. Really like the product. It will be a matte finish unless you clearcoat it.

I actually have used it on all my suspension parts too.. and calipers. Holds up great.

I painted the back sides of my 14" SSIII wheels with Rustoleum semi-flat black back in the late 90s and they still look good. You may get different results with a gloss paint.
I stripped the wheels to bare metal, primed with an etching primer, and then painted them.

For painting wheels with a can mine looked great just loke from factory but... The heat from the brakes and the dust heated to paint and wont come off. Should I use heat primer or what steps should I take. Whats people use to buff them making them look real shiney there the SII wheels

I don't understand a lot of what you posted - the only part was the last sentence.

My wheels are painted body color and I used acrylic enamel with the gloss hardener. No buffing necessary as the hardener creates a clear-coat like surface with a lot of gloss.

I don't think you need to worry about using a high temperature paint on wheels. The brakes heat up but not enough to damage the paint on the wheels. Go with POR 15 or your favorite RustoLeum color and you will be happy.

I ment exactly what I wrote. I was painting my SIII wheels with a rattle can, After awhile the brake dust was on the rims for so long it almost stuck on the rims. It wont just clean of with brake dust remover. I want the rims to be the same as the car which was the light royal blue but didn't want to take a bunch of time if it would just keep repeating. At the time I had really cheep brakes which I don't anymore
