how did you paint your rims?

So I'm runnin the stock rims on my 04, they are the six spoke wheels with three groups of 2 spokes. I'm lookin to paint them black, duh. I know auto zone has rustoleum paint made for wheels, but tell me what paint you guys have used that you think might have turned out better. I wanna give them the nice shiny look

 

rustoleum wheel paint and some clear coat bro. you're doing it right

 

didnt! sand blasted, and clear coated!







was cheap and looks awesome IMO..

 

I think that is good looking. Nice job.

I may try something,without taking tire off rim.

 

thanks man!

doing something without taking the tire off and really sanding the wheel is a temporary deal, the pain will flake or crack. id just do it right the first time dude

 

I'm thinking the inside portion of rim where its already a grayish textured color. I wouldn't be able to get them to a tire shop,then back home while truck is on jack stands sitting on asphalt driveway. Could put some wood under stands for awhile. Just a pain. Got me thinking tho.

 

yea, try to pick up a cheap second set.

 

i used engine paint

 

Check the link in my sig

 

On steel or al rims?

 

Those are steel rims

 

Now that I have a second set that I bought specifically for beating up I will be looking to finish my Sport wheels with something better then cheap paint. They will need some help though. Thinking blast/powdercoat. A local guy does (2) for $25.







already beat up within the first month



I never had issues with chipping and I do minimum prep. Scratching is unavoidable regardless IMO. I would scratch a good powder coat wheeling.
