they sell some at kragen. If you buy any two spray paint cans the third is free. Get some wheel clear coat too.

I have some but I havent painted anything yet....

if you have never painted before, then bring them to a place to have them done. i thought it was going to be easy painting my stockies, and they came out like garbage. i'm getting them redone by my friends shop because i know if i try again it will suck just as bad

I agree pay a body shop to do it. It will look a hundred time better then a rattle can.

Holy crap talk about unsafe. Did you see how they have the cars jacked up. YIKES.

The green does nothing for me and I wondering how the rims are holding up with out any primer.

Dunno... but you can always put like 2 coats of primer before you start spraying the paint... no biggie.

as for painting your wheels yourself, its not that hard, you just have to take your time, look at my wheels, i did those myself and they turned out great...

my set wheels are getting corrosion all over
so I have decided to paint it black
sanded it down with grit 250 --> 1 coat of primer ---> 2 coats of gloss black
they turned out to be pretty good :)
