I wouldn't paint over something as large as a wheel with just etch primer, unless you're using a durable rattle can product like the trim black, or some equivalent. Ideally, you would apply etch primer, then either a regular 2 part primer, or a 2 part sealer, then paint and clear.
You'll see me doing all these steps, including some minor body work (bondo) and I'll give some tips and tricks on how to make straight body work...just in case anyone's interested.
In the end I'll also covering how to sand and polish the clear coat to a show car "piano" finish. Well, I won't be going totally show car (I'm not clear coating the car twice), but very close.
