Restricted isles are very sad places that try and tell you that you can’t ever go faster than a certain speed - Usually enforced by people with no fun guns 👮♀️ Unrestricted ones let you play 😆

Can’t imagine how long this will last without sanding or priming…. Faster isn’t always the best alternative. You may not have experience defects yet (which I don’t believe) but without prime they will slowly chip… trust me I’ve rushed before😉

Heck yeah, have fun with it! I ended up doing 3 light coats and 2 medium/wet coats making 5 total, but I did not use a primer like I should have. For white since that’s a lighter color you may want to also do 4-5 coats. Or if it’s easier- I essentially used 1 and a half cans of my yellow color per wheel and then 1 can of clear coat for both wheels together. Hope this helps! Happy painting
