So my Avus wheels came like this when I first got it. Didn't want to fix it at first and leave it be, but over the months of the first year, it started getting on my nerves...so now I'm working on it. Any suggestions to help me along this process would be awesome.

looking good so far. I would do a light sanding on the primer then spray the base coat. do a few coats and then another light sand. After that lay another layer of base coat. Then clear it.
