How well does automotive paint on wheels stand up to heat and debris from the road?

 

I would like to know to cause I am spraying my wheels next week!

 

Will do well, AS LONG AS THE WHEELS ARE PREPPED THE RIGHT WAY!!!
Automotive paint these days are meant to withstand temperatures that a car's surface won't see.
I hate seeing folks that think that you have to strip wheels before painting. tsc tsc! Treat the wheel as you would treat a body panel from the car, and then paint it.
As for the debris, you may get chips if rocks hit or something.
I've sprayed my wheels using dupont's chroma base line, it's as beautiful as they were when i first mounted the tires on them.

 

my last set of wheels that were sprayed with bc/cc have lasted to this day perfectly, minor chips here and there...and my new rims are going months strong with no problems at all

 

So I don't have to get it stripped? The wheels are still fairly new, maybe 4 months old.

My painter said he would fix any imperfections, prep, and paint, so I don't think he is going to strip them anyways.

looks good.

 

I sprayed my stock rims with automotive paint and didn't have any problems with it. Just clean the rims up real good, spray the base paint, then spray a few coats of clear.

 

ive had mine painted black for 5 years and the only problem is when i get new tires they r ruff on em other than that they hold up good if done right

 

well your car has to withstand rock chips n etc too.. not just your rims... so i think automotive paint on rims are just fine.... nothing is indestructible.

 

automotive paint on wheels melts and bubbles if used on track. My newley painted wheels don't look so good on the front.
