spray painting rims?

RaMatt · 06-04-2009, 05:59 PM

I am getting some H2 rims tomorrow and want them to be black but I am cheap and was wondering if anyone has spray painted there rims and how they came out. Also what paint and prep stuff do I need to do it right?

go get you some Duplicolor Engine Enamel in the color ya want, some medium grit sand paper, and Dupli Color degreaser...

sand the wheel till it's dull, degrease it, wipe off the degreaser, and shoot, here are some pics of mine...

I cleaned mine up with soap and water, scuffed them with a scotch brite pad, 1 coat of primer, and 2 coats of black. Got it all at advanced auto for around $17 bucks. im pretty happy with the way they turned out.

My buddy did some wheels with Rustoleum Hammer finish for his off-road wheels. They look good but they have a texture to them. I'm going to do my H2's with self-etching primer and wheel paint, then clear.

sand paper and 2 coats of hammer coat. the textured look is nice and they have held up great after two offroad sessions so far.
