Hey guys, i have the stock accord 5th gen 7 spoke wheels, and as all of you know they are aluminum.
Ok, mine look dull and i want to paint them black, so i started searching different ways to do so.
I learned that i can use caustic soda to eat all the crap they have and leave the aluminum bare. I'm a lil scared to do it, but eventually i will. After that i wanted to know what options to paint them and have a few options:
(i want them black, finish is not a priority, just that they look good and that it will last)
-Powdercoating them black
-Anodize them (does anyone has an aluminum wheel anodize? i will love to see them)
-regular car paint
-electrolisis (the way that toyota uses to paint their cars, where they use electrical current to make the paint stick to the metal)

What do you guys think? i'm not much of a appearance kind of guy, but if i do things i like to do them the right way.

What are your toughts?

 

wow, this forum moves FAST.
No one has an opinion?

 

duplicolor wheel spray paint will last several years, assuming you're not driving on gravel roads all the time. its a cheaper alternative to powdercoating...
