Painting Stock Rims

[SiRider]

Does anyone know how to paint ur rims black or any instructions on how do black the rims out?

flat black spray paint.... make sure its flat... also get krylon......... or u could powder coat them. better quality

go to you local auto store and buy the duplicolor wheel paint. im using it on my 04 wheels.

id say get them powder coated...better than spray paint.

[Ep3 No.2]

powder coating is of course better but it cost about 30 bucks a wheel. and a diy cost only 15. cant compare with 15 bucks and 120

yes you can...when you have to do it over and over because of chippng and fading..youll be kicking yourself in the arse

dumb question:

do you have to remove the tire when using the Duplicolor DIY method?
If so, how?

Can't argue price with powdercaot vs paint, but how does paint hold up?

[Ep3 No.2]

you just tape off everything you dont want painted. including the tires

[BluezSi-nger]

That simplifies things. Thanks!

recently i sold my si rims to a friend.....we bought primer-spray then gunmetal-spray paint and then clear-coat spray and it came out clean.

i sanded the wheels down, to take off the factory shine, primered, gunmetal metallic paint, then clear coat ( a few coats of each till desired look ) and have had them on for a few months, and thru winter, they held up nicely

i painted mine with flat black duplicator wheel paint...used 2 bottles and was more then enough to paint 4 wheels...took all the wheels off 1 by 1 and pinted them.....ive been getting a lot of good comments while on the road....it looks very JDM...black on black with an option 2 sticker and amber signals...
