Default What paint to use for painting wheels flat black???
Hey I need(ok want) to paint some wheels flat black. Any idea what paint I should use?

For the record it's for a porsche and 17 inch black rims seem to not exist.

Hopefully I will have pictures in a few weeks. As of now the dam car is not here yet.

high heat satin black works good since the wheels get hot.

I had mine powdered but any spray paint works, just not as durable.

Duplicolor Wheel Paint from Wal-Mart, O'Reilly's, or Autozone.

This is what I use and comes out fantastic and has the Spoon wheel flat complexion look and its durable against rock chips.

* Dry Time: 1 hour to touch, hardens with heat
* Cleanup: Mild solvent (mineral spirits, turpentine, paint thinner)

Recommended Uses

Use on all indoor and outdoor surfaces exposed to high temperatures, including barbecues, fireplaces, gas lamps, stoves, radiators, heaters, steam pipes, car exhaust manifolds, engines and boilers.

They can do a flat black powder coat? If so that would be an idea. I thought just by the powder coat process it's always gonna be shiny.

This is gonna be my race wheels so they don't have to look perfect. Just for the record. Has flat black bumpers and carbon hood and trunk someday this year. Guy has to make the parts still.
