Happy to help, Jayden! We do not recommend applying multiple heavy coats of Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Protective Enamel Spray Paint. Applying heavy coats can trap solvents between the layers and keep the finish from properly curing. We recommend applying multiple light coats a few minutes apart. Please note that full durability and adhesion to some surfaces can take up to 7 days, so we don't recommend testing for adhesion, or putting the rims back into use, before then. — Rust-Oleum Product Support 15
