Painting Rims


Swerv

Recommended Posts

So i have been day dreaming over flat black wheels with a white lip... I cant find any and a friend looked at my wheels and said "Ya know you could just paint the wheels you already have and it would look sporty"

Thats not a bad idea!!!

I have done some research and found a lot of information. There are many good places on forums for tips, like this one:

So i am thinking of getting some dupli-color paint and trying this on my own. The only real problem with doing this is chipping. They say the better you prep and take your time the more life the paint will have.

If anyone has had any experience doing this please let me know. I am also considering powder coating but that can cost lots of money.

Here are some crude mock ups i did:
