Hey I really like the look of black rims, so i was going to spray paint mine i did a little spot and it just rubs away, have any of you guys tryed to paint your rims? How did it work?

Thanks
Nick

 

I wouldn't recommend just painting them. In most cases you will not have good results. There is a product out called POR-15 that is a two part black epoxy. This stuff is extremly tough, and can be applied at home. You can also powder coat. If you anodize they will scratch easy and look like hell soon,

smitty is 100% correct.
I would powdercoat them.
I used Por15 (made in Canada) on parts before and it is TOUGH!!

 

There's guy here that powdercoats wheels and they end up looking like they are anodized. I have the same stuff on my stator cover and oil filter cover.
I don't recommend it! Too many rocks to cause chips!

Now come to think of it. Knutz had his done by someone else. Since I haven't seen them in a while, I don't know how they are holding up.

Also the powdercoating didn't bond to the metal of our engine great so that maybe why mine has worn some.
