I know some of you have painted your rims black, if so what did you use. i know a guy who used primer but i don't think that's the best way. oh, and i don't have money for powdercoating, so what kind of paint?

 

use [ainters touch flat black at home depot for a flat look, get satin or gloss for non flat. I still have to do my wheels

<=== lazy

 

I hit a curb with one of my wheels and put a nasty scrape in it so I filed id down to a smooth surface, but the rim looked like *** so I painted them Low Gloss black with a high temp engine paint. They came out decent.

 

Krylon..

 

actually, i wouldnt recommend krylon. its not as tough as engine paint (high temp paint).

 

ok sounds good, but if i wanted a polished lip how would i do that, i know i can tape it off but is there anything that will make it look more polished?

 

i haven't had any problems with my krylon wheels.. i didn't prep the wheels before i painted them, either.. even in the sand/salt..

 

Get one of those little grinder bits that go on power drills...grind it on the lip...just a thought cuz I was thinking about doing that...

 

i did with some paint and primer that i got from the auto body shop around here and now the s*#t is already chipping off im kinda up set now i have to redo it

 

i painted my wheel a dark gray metalic with Car paint from pepboys or any automotive store ..But i Primerd it before and after painting i put a few clear larys of clear and it came out perfect and it didn't come out reall shinny its just the rite color to . I got to get pictures of it

 

ok thx everybody, that grinder idea is pretty cool!!!

 

buy wheel paint from the auto store...they have several colors.....wash wheel.......sand with rough paper.....sand with fine paper.......wash again.......wipe with alcohol........let dry.......primer (all purpose).......wheel paint
