So I'm looking for an alternative to powder coating my rims.

I found a cheap way via a how-to on the internet that seems to yield decent results

I wanted to get others opinions on this before I went out and attempted this


I'm not sure if there is another thread on this, if so, my bad.


here are a couple links that had good results

Budget Auto DIY Hack – How to Spray Paint Your Rims!

 

I did it.

 

me too....

 

Havnt had any chips yet. and still looks good. Ive had it done for a year next month. Ill probably respray them in the spring though

 

Lol at buying a nice 350z and then spraypainting your wheels and using plumbing for your intake :P

 

I've never rattled canned any rims but from what I've researched plasti-dip is the way to go

 

plasti-dip that ****!

 

i did mine. mine came out clean

 

iv done atleast 22 sets of rims works good

 

prep work and rattle can skills can do wonders hah

 

thats a G35 in the pics they dont even know what car they have

 

plasti dip'd mine! looks great and it was stupid easy

 

I was gonna say, that looks way more like a G35... not a Z. Haha.

 

spray paint CAN look good, if you prep religiously and take your TIME!!!!

I hate when you see those ghetto ass flat black painted rims... I like black chromed wheels

 

they turned out a lot better than i expected with spray paint.. I used a certain kind made for rims i got from pep boys. I'm still debating whether or not i want to put a layer of clear coat on it.

I know it needs to be lowered. I'm working on it

 

looks good might do my stockers soon. this thread has got me thinkin about it. lol

 

It was really easy, it just took a long time doing it by myself.

 

scuff and shoot. u need any pointers on how to paint rims PM me

 

im more interested in that plasi-dip stuff. kind of weird how you can peel it off. i wonder how it holds up in the elements.....

 

they look flat I want to do my wheels black but I want them shiny

 

Clear coat should make them SHINE

I'm still Debating if I want that shine or not

 

shine shine shine!!!

 

I used gloss black paint on mine and I put a few coats of clear on them. They look good.

 

You guys that plasti-dipped your wheels..how many cans did you need?

 

You can clear over plasti-dip and itll still peel off since the clear has no adhesion to the rim, only to the plasti-dip, which has no adhesion really to the rim. So itll just peel off together
