How many cans of primer and paint was necessary to complete all 4 rims? I'm going to paint my old S-lites black.

Those look really good!

Thanks! But a quick update........I hit a pothole bending two rims when they fixed the wheels the paint got screwed up so I went ahead and just painted them flat black and also blacked out the beltline. This time it only took me a few hours. I still might go back to gold with some other rims because I liked the look.
