painting my si rims
I have a 1994 civic dx thunder grey and want to paint my si rims but iono how to do it and the search isnt working very good. So if you have any directions and pics or some pics of painted si rims post them up
what color do you wanna paint them? Depending on how well you want them to turn out depends on how much money you wanna spend and how much time you are going to put into it.
Slips and subzeros are nice but i just hate looking at the boring old silver.Your probably going to say spend some money on rims but im saving for auto to manual.I have a lot of time and money isnt a problem as long as im doing it myself
and the tools need to paint them are cheap.

i like stock si rims. but if you insist on changing color, here is some advice......DONT PAINT! i have seen them powdercoated gunmetal and it looks okay i guess. but id stick with OEM

keep them silver, and if u dont want them silver then polish them, they look real sweet in polish, like the 99 gsr rims
go to schucks, they have paint made for painting wheels. duplicolor makes it. i just painted my USDM cx wheels gunmetal, and they look fat as ****
doest need any primer, just sand, clean, and do light coats
i like them better in gunmetal...but thats just my opinion.
and u dont need to sand/prime them. If u do that, you wont ever be able to take the paint back off and leave them silver if you change you mind. I didnt sand/prime mine and they came out fine.
Paint also came right off with acetone...took the paint off because i sold them.
