I'm going to paint my white steel wheels and I wondered how much paint I would use? I'm sure someone will have done this before. I plan to put a couple of coats on each wheel and I've already ordered 400ml, will this be enough?

thanks if you can help

Buy a few rattle cans of paint from pound land for er £1 , doesn't matter what colour , use it to build up the layers then topcoat with the expensive stuff
