Something I might consider doing myself... But I wondering how long the color hold up to offroad debris and mud??? I'd sure hate to have to paint my rims every weekend...:shrug:

The friend I got the idea from has used this style paint on rims for years, its incredibly tough! I spend a lot of time I the woods, so I'll report back, but I am expecting it won't take much upkeep.

Those things would be great mudding around! I would rather have steel wheels anyways. Aluminum upkeep is just insane. I spent 2 hours just going from the first pic to the second, yes that was just ONE damn wheel :ahhh:http://www.mopar1973man.com//isx97/Truck%20Stuff/Ryan's%20Dodge/Exterior/IMG_0913.JPG http://www.mopar1973man.com//isx97/Truck%20Stuff/Ryan's%20Dodge/Exterior/IMG_0912.JPG

So you didn't scuff or rough up the fake chrome clad surface any????? If not, why not???:shrug:

Mine are the alum, so no fake chrome surface. I didn't, the guys I know that have done it to their wheels haven't done it either with good results. I figure if it doesn't work out I'll take a 3M pad to em and repaint.

All I can say is that I wish I had done this sooner! I used Rustoleum 2000* high temp flat black rattle can paint..

Man that is SCHWEEEET :) Keep us posted on this one - I would love to know how long that paint lasts - and then she's going on my truck. :hyper: I was just looking at $500 rims last night on ebay - didn't look any better

I've done this to my dually wheels. Looks great! I used a wheel specific paint but I've had to redo one simply because I didn't realize that there was a part of the wheel not dry when I first painted and it flaked off, this was all my fault and so far so good, you can (and I have in the past) get a gloss black and clearcoat if a few times and that holds up even better.
