Painting Rims Need Some Tips
« on: June 08, 2006, 08:10:11 PM »

So Im gonna paint my rims this weekend, just wanting to know if anyones done this or if anyone has any tips before I get started. They're aluminum rims with a silver finish and Im gonna paint them black. Obviously some sanding would need to be involved but I need to know what grits or if I would need some kinda stripper or what not. I was told autozone had a good rim paint by duplicolor but then on top of that, I heard Plastikote was pretty good too. I would get them powder coated but I got too many things going on as far as money for other projects  Undecided    thanks for the help

Strip all the wax off use lacquer thinner or 3M adhesive remover ... 600 grit to roughen up the surface Light coats work best ...If you are painting on the car be sure to mask off or throw a sheet/blanket over the car ...I used a light coat of vasiline on the tires ,being sure to not get any ON the wheel ...
