It takes typically between 2-3 days to do proper prep work and paint for any piece if you want it done right. Learned that the hard way. Yes you can just scrub and wash and paint over with a single coat, but I can't say I'd really recommend that to anyone because I don't know exactly how that's gonna turn out on some wheels. Gonna be painting the rims on the A4 soon, just haven't settled on a color scheme for the Celeb package rims, already know that painting those rims right is gonna be a 2-3 day process, and I'm gonna have to paint like 1 rim a week since I have to drive her every day. The reason why it'll take so long is because of the texture and consistency of the wheels and how they're made. Other factory rims or aftermakets might be the same way.
