krylon spraypaint, no sandpaper needed on mine, but got some places where it didn't stick. Take your time, and be patient. Just put thin coats on everytime. If it takes 2 coats, great. If it take 50 coats, oh well. Just don't rush. Good luck

I didn't even sand or used primer on mine, I just used simple green wheel cleaner and cleaned them up real good. Then I used a GM colour gun metal paint to paint the rims and finished off with a clear coat. It's been a couple months now, no chipping
