Painting rims

MSTRKRFT · 02-03-2009, 08:40 PM

If i was looking to paint my rims, what paint is suggested to use, and if anyone has any prior experience doing it and had it turn out good, what steps did you do?

As many other memebers wwould advise, I do not recommend painting the wheels. They will easily chip over time. Rather...go with a nice poweder coat that is more durable.

if you choose to go with eh ratle can route, make sure you sand down the clear/gloss fnish on the wheels. Prime it, use 3-4 coats of whatever color rattle can paint, then clear coat it. You can buy wheel paint at pep boys..Over time it will chip no matter what..
