Ive been thinking of painting my snowflakes black to match the car. Ive never painted wheels before, and I know a lot of people on here have theirs painted. So I wanted to see what the best paint is to use, I'd like a glossy finish. Im not looking to spend a LOT on the wheels, just like them to look nice. Thanks :)

Rustolum black wheel paint should do fine. It's a spray paint but made for wheels. You can have me do it with real paint but it cost about $140.00. Now mine will last longer but the spray paint is way cheeper and comes out pretty nice. Here is what I did with my wife's wheels:

I didn't even know people painted wheels. How long is spray paint going to last and look decent on wheels? Just have 'em powder coated.

Because I dont know if I plan on keeping these on it, or going with something lighter down the road, so dont want to waste the $$ on powder coating

Paint is cheeper and last just as long
