    I painted mine with 3 coats of rustoleum primer and 3 coats of restoleum enamel. No chipping after a year.

    I haven't painted any rims but I do like Rustoleum Universal. You can spry in any direction and the paint seams thicker so it's easier to avoid runs.

    Haha you're probably right, but I'm keeping it on there until it looks bad. Then if I'm not feeling lazy I do the hard work of sanding, priming, painting, and then clear coating lol
