spoonish.... dismount your tires and scuff up the wheels. then go get some black high temp paint and paint them scuffed up wheels.. back them for 1 hour at 550°.. super flat black. but if you dont bake, the paint chips like a mo fo and its satin colored

no need to bake! just get that dupli-color paint in graphite my friends buddy did his talon wheels and all he did was scuff it up, clean em with soap and water, dry it up, then he painted em really quick with that dupli-color (wheels were still on the car...for real!) and after a few days the guy went and tried to chip em off with a pressure washer at close range and it didn't chip at all

do what i did, go to walmart, and by the cheap flat black they have. my rims came out very good. its not a matter of what paint u use, its a matter of the time u spend making them look good.

I didn't know they made "wheel coating" paint. Whats the difference between that and regular paint? I dont trust it to hold up in my shitty WI winters...
