Anyone have expierence with paiting rims?
im talking about the DIY spray paiting.. not looking for powdercoating.
Looking to see if anyone could help me out or possibly do them for me for a little bit of $
These are my only set of rims and ive never done it before so im a little weary of doing it myself im just looking for a really good job

How professional do you want it? I bought some $4 spray cans of flat black for my wheels and just went at it, didnt even bother prepping outside of some simple green and washing. I suggest at least a little prep work, some sanding, etc. but you can still get the same outcome the cheapo way.


Ignore the back wheel on the next two. I painted these during the last serious hurricane, and it started drizzling

haha no im not looking for straight up pro job, but looking for someone who takes time to prep (DIYs ive read do 3 different grits of wetsanding) and the acetone wash. thats all im pretty much looking for i dont know if thats considered a pro job lol

It took like 3x longer to mask off the tires, which needed to be replaced anyways. So I didnt care.

True...
just did a set of LS mesh rims for a buddy in gold with a polished lip.. took me about 4 hours...
i will post up some before and after pics when i get home..
Did a Easy prep.. full washed them.. Sanded them a bit with 1000 Grit and 2000 Grit.. them primed them white...
index cards are your friend for not getting paint on the tires..

Hadn't thought of that, but now that you mention it, I've seen it before. I'll try that next time 
Thanks
