Default what paint should I use for my rotas???

I'm painting my slipstreams next week and I need to know exactly what paint I should get. Wal-Mart has some 500 degree engine paint... maby that would work, but the last thing that I want is the next month having the paint coming off. HELP

i think you should get them powder coated, it lasts longer and looks better imo.

um powdercoating is gonna cost a pretty penny...just spray paint em..just make sure you do it the right way(search on how-to paint rims). If you do it right they will last. I have two friends that have sprayed painted thier ITR rims and they look really good and thay are lasting
