I have a 1976 camaro. She has some 30 yr. old chrome wheels. I want to paint them gloss black. I do not have any painting equipment so I will be limited to spray can products. I google around and seen a two part epoxy spray primer. Any help will be appreciated
Doesn't seem possible.
Make sure the rims are super clean, then rub them down with #0000 steel wool until the shine is gone, and clean them again before you prime them.
If it truly is a catalyzed primer (I still don't believe it), check the can for when you can put on the top coat, because there's a window of time that if you wait too long, you'll have to sand and prime them again.
Some catalyzed products in an aerosol can contain a internal bladder of activator that gets ruptured before use. Others may be charged with nitrogen(?) to prevent the product from hardening in the can.
Check out SEM, the Eastwood Company and Por 15 for some of the products you desire.
I've never heard of such a thing.

It's got two chambers in the can and mixes on it's way to the nozzle.
Brilliant!
I might buy a can, just to cut it open and look inside.
The Shop
Having said that, I wish I didn't plasti dip the wheels on my car.
