Default RE: Want to Paint rims. Questions

im thinking about doing mine..im going to get a quote from my local shop first but depending on the price i would go to KRAGEN and get the DUPLICOLOR wheel paint and PRIMER i love to save money and do stuff myself but im worried about runs in the paint, and if you do and you want that chrome lip...use regular blue paiters tape and put some sillicone calk on your finger and run it round the edge and you paint right on it and you get a perfect edge with no bleeding

thats the only advice i can give sorry, dont know much but im worried about sanding them and the paint running

I painted me own wheels.. do it yourself, don't let a shop do it.. it is REALLY easy.







Wet sanded with 400 then 800 grit, used acetone to clean, I used grey primer, one coat of that, then Duplicolor Engine Enamel Paint, low gloss. That is all.
