Rim Paint - What to use?

[Dick]

Just wondering if anyone would know of a good paint to use for painting steel rims?

Cheers,

powdercoat.

I took mine up to competition coatings in the industrial area, can't remember, but I think I paid about $40 per rim

just make sure the rims are prepared well prior to the powder coatin as i've heard stories/rumours of water gettin under the coatin due to ill prep or the porous nature of the powder coating and creating a layer of rust between the rim and the coating.. this then led to the coatin peelin/chippin off..

if a normal styles paint is used and is scratched off, then a quick application over the scratched/damaged area is too easy and done where and when needed and can be performed by any johnny lunchpail..

whichever way ya go, good luck fella..

the problem area is where the center meets the rim its hard to get the powder coat/paint in there
