autozone sells rim paint, i've heard amazing results on car rims, and i read of some people doing it on quad rims, and it worked well, but not recommended for creek riding, obviously

PC, or Tremclad it. i cant see paint holding up well. and most door knobs these days dont have the common sense to remove the rim so it looks beautiful when its done and you got paint on youre tires.

i just finished painting my rims, i taped off a nice lip on both front and back, i sanded the inside of the wheel, and taped off the brass inserts for the lug nuts to sit, so when you take the wheels on and off the paint wont scratch and peel. i also used TSP, tri sodium phosphate, to clean the dirt, oils, and anything else that was left befind after sanding. i used two to three coats of black engine enamel. and i sprayed 2 coats of satin clear coat. when everything was dry and able to be handled, i used some blue magic rim cleaner to polish the lip. blue magic works well, and leaves a silicone residue behind, so that the dirt builds up on top, and you can easily wipe it up. i will try and post some pics asap.

left rear rim and tire, this was a half *** done rims, when i get new tires, i will strip it down and repaint it w/o the tires on it.
i also taped off the lug nut holes, so that when you screw them on, then the paint will not chip and scratch. if you have any ques just ask, also the pic quality is not the best because it was off an i-phone.

there are a few little chips around the valve stem because i accidently got some grease of the rim before paint, i put grease on the valve stems, so that when i was done spraying, i could just wipe off the paint. the best way to do it is to unmount the tire from the rim, and take out the valve stem, then prep the rim for paint.

i've used this stuff before. Is ridiculously durable... DURACOAT
Tried it on an old shotgun and it is impossible to scratch off, I always wonder how it would hold up on ATV parts.

powdercoating or annodizing is def the way to go on these. i used truck bed liner and after a days worth of riding on trails and creek, there were very few scratches. if you only ride track, you'd be completely fine.

i'm wondering what the best way to rattle can my rims is??? i'm not looking for people to say that i shouldn't paint them with spray paint because i don't care.
like that but i'd use some etching primer then throw some paint to them.. prep work is the key to making a cheap job look good. when ever you use brake clean, paint thinner, or what ever to clean the surface. let it dry for a while couple hours.. then spray on the etching primer (you can get at auto zone or wal mart, i'm pretty sure it's rust-o-leum?) stuff drys pretty fast lay a couple quick coats then let it try good. then take a "tack" rag a lil paint thinner on and wipe it down to remove dust. lay down your coats, you can either rush through and do several "wet" coats or go slow and wipe it down in between coats... should look good.. post pics when you get done to see how you did.

you can use rattle can but you need to lay 2-3 coats of primer after you scuff the rim, then allow the primer to flash(adhere) to the the rim and put the other coats on. Put however many coats you want depending on the amount of shine you want

check out this thread, i did mine with a rattle can, sanded rims with 120 grit sand paper, and taped off lip of rim and where the lugs go so they wont chip when breaking the nuts. i used tsp to clean rims after sanding. sprayed 3 coats of black engine enamel. used enamel so it wont wanna chip easily. then sprayed 2 coats of satin clear special purpose paint. they dont look that bad, and havent had problems with 'em. check out the pics i posted on otha thread.

i painted them already :).............. i cleaned the wheels with a power washer then used brake cleaner and then used the wheel cleaner for my car on them ( so now they are clean!!!! ) sanded them down with some sandpaper real good. cleaned them again. taped them off. then i sprayed a grey etching primer on ( i believe three or 4 coats ) then i sprayed with a high performance industrial strength enamel ( i believe 3 to 4 coats ) then i sprayed with a clear coat made for cars ( two coats.
i found the stuff in my dad's basement works great!! ) the wheels are shiny as hell and have with stood hell to!! i will post some pics up later.

A car with shiny or unusually colored rims is always a delight to the eye.
However, these graceful design elements require relentless attention. And even regular thorough cleaning will not save discs from darkening and tarnishing after some time. Why do car owners have to think about restoring discs, is it possible to carry out this procedure on their own and how to paint it correctly - we will consider these and other questions in our material.
If you use your car frequently, it's almost impossible to keep your rims looking their best for long. Indeed, in the process of driving, they are attacked by small gravel, dirt or chemicals that are sprinkled on roads in winter. In addition, temperature changes affect the coating. And inaccurate parking, as a result of which you seem to have “ground in” the discs a little, can lead to serious damage to their surface. As a result, scratches and chips appear on them, which cause the growth of foci of corrosion. As a result, after a certain time you have a problem - dull discs with scratches and traces of rust.
However, knowing how to paint rims, you can handle it yourself, without the involvement of expensive specialists.
The first step is to determine the type of your disks. After all, the question of how to paint stamped wheels is easier to solve: it is not necessary to cover them with primer before painting. Cast ones require preliminary application of a special primer. Otherwise, the coloring technology does not differ.
Before proceeding with the restoration, you need to prepare the necessary materials:
Now let's figure out how to paint rims with your own hands:
1.
Thoroughly clean and clean the surface of the discs.
First of all, we need to get rid of pollution. To do this, carefully wash the discs with a special cleaning agent using a brush. Then we remove the remnants of the old paintwork from the disks, cleaning them with sandpaper. We use grit with numbers from 200 to 600. From time to time we wash the surface with water. Sanding will remove all irregularities from the discs, as well as traces of corrosion.
2. Degrease the surface.
Before applying the primer, the discs must be degreased. After all, on a clean and fat-free surface, the paint will last much longer. This will allow us to qualitatively paint the wheels without removing the rubber.
3. We cover the tire.
Now, using masking paper or film, as well as masking tape, carefully cover the tire so that paint does not get on it.
4. Apply primer.
Priming is one of the most important stages of restoration work, so it is important to choose a high-quality product for it.
Motip Standard Acrylic Primer has excellent adhesion and provides an ideal base for further paint application. Due to the presence of anti-corrosion components, this composition will protect the surface from rust. The primer should be applied from the inside of the disc, spraying the composition from a distance of about 25 cm and shaking the can from time to time. We need to apply 2-3 layers of primer, giving each of them time to dry. Now we need to figure out how to paint the rims with our own hands using paint in an aerosol can.
5. Paint car rims.
For this purpose, we use Motip Disk Enamel. It is characterized by excellent adhesion and hiding power, and also contains anti-corrosion components. After application, a durable smooth coating is formed, resistant to aggressive external factors. We shake the can vigorously for two minutes, after which we spray the paint from a distance of 25 cm. The main thing here is not to overdo it - it is better to apply several thin layers instead of one thick one.
Motip disc enamel has a short drying time, so each new coat can be applied after 2-3 minutes!
6. Lacquer coating.
The final step will be the varnishing of the painted surface - we use Motip Clear Acrylic Varnish. It will enhance the protective properties of the coating, as well as give the discs a long-awaited shining shine! We apply several layers of the composition from a distance of about 25-30 cm, waiting for each of them to dry. After the completion of the restoration work, we admire the result!
We've learned how to paint your own wheel rims, save money, and get them to shine!
Most often the rims are painted steel color, or you can paint the rims black. However, the scope for your imagination is limitless! Motip rim enamel allows you to choose any shade - from white to gold or silver.
When painting alloy wheels, it is not necessary to be limited to only one color. Combine contrasting shades for spectacular combinations!
Contrasting edging looks beautiful on stamped disks. To do this, first you need to apply the first shade of paint and let it dry. Then cover the middle with masking paper and apply the second color. Wait for it to dry, then remove the paper and enjoy the result!
Light green or purple wheels look great against the background of a silver body! In this case, you can choose both a glossy and matte shade.
You can get creative and paint the rims on the wheels of a blue car yellow, light green or even pink.
