What paint to use to paint rims?
Hi guys , i'm going to purchase some rims + tires used ... but his rims aren't shiny at all and it isnt the color i wished, but the price meeted my requirements ... i'm low on budget thats why ...
So my question is : What kind of paint can i use to paint the whole rim BLACK / GUNMETAL color?? I would like a solid reflective black ... Whats the paint called? My best choice of shop would be Renodepot , Canadian tire, wal-mart or something like that ... Thanks!
-Paint the whole 4 rims
-Paint the lugs (if possible)
***This is not my car, my car is an Accord 96 , but i just din't buy the rims yet , giving you guys an idea what black would look like.

RE: What paint to use to paint rims?
where can you get that Dupli-color paint at? amd how would you paint it on? Just spray it or is there more to it?
and what kind of rims are they? cuz i think the type of paint u use has to do with the material you are painting on.
im thinking about doing the same also...let me know how it goes. and what you did.

If Possible, I would not use any paint to change the color... Instead I would try to find a close by business that specialize in Powder Coating. Its Much more Durable and will resist chipping and scratches Many x's more than paint... Not to mention they sand blast them 1st to get all dirts/grime/and original color/luster material so they have a Raw/Clean surface to work off of.

That was going to be my suggestion as well... see how much a place would charge you to powder coat it, you'll be much happier with the results. If you do decide to spray paint, then don't forget to prep the surface, clean it really well and use a low grit sandpaper to make sure it's rough enough to stick...

I'd spend a bit more and do powder coating and have a great paint for years, just my opinion
