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.

 

take your time and tape everything off carefully

 

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.

 

Way beyond my very small scope of expertise. Here's another thought...how about powder coating...not sure if you can actually do wheels.

 

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.

Here is some painted wheels for you.

 

I had the rims on the 6-er powdercoated. Powdercoat is strong and wont chip. Not sure I would trust paint to rims. BUT I've never tried it ... might work fine.

 

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.

 

Those are pretty sweet but not my color

 

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.
