Wheel Paint
Has anyone here painted their stock wheels? I'm looking at painting mine black but haven't ever done it. I see Duplicolor has a specific paint for it. Any feedback would be great.

Taping won't be an issue as I am removing the tires and I'm painting the entire wheel. I'm not going to leave the lip in the silver finish as I am going for the blacked out look but I will take my time. I don't want runs or crap in the paint.

Years ago my husband painted the rims on our van. He used the silver rim paint from Canadian Tire...I think it is the duplicolor brand. Looked great, no issues!! But....it was a van so it's not like we were concerned with show quality.

I thought about it but for the cost of it I could almost buy a set of knock off wheels. I'm just being cheap, plus I enjoy doing little thing like this my self. I have read a lot about powdercoating and some say it's safe while others say it isn't.

For the cost of it if the paint doesn't last forever I'm ok with that. For the mileage and use my car get's I'm thinking it would be ok.
