hey guys custom painting a set of rims for sale, so far they are flat black with rustolium flat black bbq paint but its like ridiculously flat lol looking to add a little shine to it but cant use any sort of clear coat due to high heat from brakes chipping the clear coat away, does anyone have any experience working with plastidip? does it have a bit of shine to it at all?

they make engine enamel clearcoats. You could try that and buff it? Maybe bake each wheel to cure the paint.

If you do your rims make sure you spray evenly if not your wheels would wobble

Please read the site rules.

It is one thing asking for help about painting rims. It is another thing to try to sell the rims.
