Questions About Painting Stock Rims
i want to get some rims in black but i can't afford some new ones for a while. I've only got stock rims at the moment and want to paint them black. Has anybody here done this? if so did the paint stay on them well? is there anything i need to pay extra attention too? and is there any certain product that anybodies used and would highly recomend?

I did some wheels and an engine and chassis in black bedliner; some think it looks great, and some don't. The perks are that it's easy, cheap, and durable. The Rustoleum stuff is basically black crinkle paint, like you'd find on a Harley Nightster. The paint is also very forgiving, if you're an inexperienced painter.

IF you decided on bedliner, you really just have to clean them up and get rid of any bad imperfections. Prep is pretty easy with it, which is another thing I like about it.
I used a spray, and it gets smooth even coats when you dust it on the way you should. It's done well clanging around in a garage on the prototype, and even a welder has trouble cooking it off, so durability isn't an issue with it at all.

I used high-temp engine enamel, semi gloss. And they turned out really well - I did this about a month ago and no issues at all, not even rock chips yet. Just make sure you use an un-godly amount of clear coat
