Painting my rims

[tanklugz]

gonna paint my rims black, just wondering what kind of paint I should use, and prep work i need done, or anything at all. and how much would it cost?

you will need to sand ur rims(which will hurt at first) and buy rim paint, paint specially made to paint wheels, although i dont know who sells this stuff cuz ive never painted rims

[tanklugz]

ive heard about "engine enamel" should i look for it at pepboys?

yeah, its basically very resistant high heat paint, if your really goin to do this, its not as easy as spraying paint, you have to sand each wheel really good, through at least two coats of primer, several coats of paint, wetsand, then clear(for shine if needed) then wetsand some more and allow to dry 100%, if not u risk of chipping paint real easily

powdercoat. That is the only thing that is durable enuff to stand up to daily use. dont waste your time, rims, or money on anything else.
