Restoring some old sport wheels and messed up final coat of paint, possible fix?

I have corroded, chipped bubbled wheels that I wanted fixed up and looking better for winter tires. I got them down to bare metal with aircraft remover and brass wire wheels, sanded thoroughly with 80 grit, added some bondo, 80 again in those areas then 320.

Primed with Rustoleom etching primer then lightly sanded with 600 and followed up with Duplicolor HP wheel coating satin black. No plans for clear coat for easy touch ups

Duplicolor HP wheel coat says to do 2 light coats and 1 medium. Long story short, the medium coat didn't go well, some spots got hit too heavy with paint and didn't look good.

I figured I could buy more of the same paint and try to even it out with additional coats. I bought two more cans and did about 3 more coats to all the wheels and favored a few spots that looked bad.

What could have added to the bad look of the paint is that black dust was everywhere after spraying a lot. After it dried and I cleaned up, I was vacuuming and vacuumed a bunch of dust off the floor and the wheels as well

Anyway, any suggestions on how to improve the look of these?

Can I wet sand or something, maybe try 1 more coat without the dust on?

 

Yes you can wet sand after they are completely dry. Spraying with a can is never easy to get even. Need to do it at lower temps allowed by the product. Too high and it will dry too fast. Also humidity plays a factor.

 

What grit of sand paper would you go with?

 

apply paint coats wetter

 

They actually turned out pretty good considering how they started. 600 should be plenty for flat black wheels. As stated above. Put wetter coats on but not so much that it runs.
