Ironwood Canadian Tire in Richmond has it.
They were out of the clear coat stuff, so I only picked up the bronze.

^ +1 every cdn tire should have it. I just did my rims, took 2 cans to do all four rims.

did my old wheels also, but over the winter, the paint started to peel

Pretty sure Lordco on Kingsway carries that stuff.

Lordco paint shop out in Maple Ridge would have it on the shelf.. Canadian Tire you have to ask them and it really depends on the store. NAPA is supposedly a dealer too.

The issue with Duplicolor is you really need good prep.. so bead blasting etc is pretty much required.

You should consider the special deals that local sandblasting shops offer on powder coating.. I think there was one in Poco that offered to do a set of 4 for $150? Which is not to bad if you consider you will need the duplicolor system ie primer + paint + clearcoat (so effectively each can will run you $30 for 3 steps).

This is exactly what I am doing.

I've done a bit of prep to remove most of the paint and sand down the curbage, then realized how much of a b*tch it is to sand down the entire wheel for paint. I'm going to take them to Langley U-blast instead, they estimate I can be done in < 1hr based on the prep I've already done. Total projected cost so far: $40 to remove the tires, $50 for paint stripper, $55 for an hr of Langley U-blast, < $200 for powdercoat, and $80 to remount and balance - about $400 total.

Don't go to the smaller CTs as they usually don't have stock. Usually the larger and newer ones are better. I had to go all the way to N. Van couple of years ago to find one with stock.

Btw the new ct on grandville always has stock on mostly everything

I was just forced to order Silver Rota wheels because the the offset I wanted in another colour was not available. Something to keep in mind when the wheels arrive so I can re-paint them. Although I will most likely end up with powder coating.
