Are you storing your BMW for winter?

If I were you, I'd ditch the spray cans. Having owned a car that was rattle canned, the paint didn't last 6 months with prep. Every time I went through the car wash, it would flake off. Take the time and do it somewhat decently even if you don't want a show quality job, especially if your father is an experienced painter. I think it would be better than having to keep respraying spots when they fall apart.

Prep work makes the difference. Using quality materials helps a lot as well. Do it right the first time or don't do it at all.
This. Spraypaint looks "ok" at best, for a week, MAYBE. Then it falls to shambles. A clear coat won't do shit to spray paint. Do it right. Hell, if your dad doesn't want to paint it, I've got a full car paint booth. I'll spray it for you. But that costs $$

Never! I plan on getting another set of snow wheels for my other cars too, I really need to get my 95 running, I only got 33,900 miles on my s50b32.
