rims paint

**pycakmark** · April 2nd, 2008, 11:33 PM

i have a set of 4 gst rims, 2 are painted black, 2 aren't.. i was going to wash the first 2 off but nothing takes it, now im resorting to painting the other 2 black. Anyone know any good quality paint? i saw some rim spray paint in auto zone but idk if its good or not.

Some links when I did a quick search on google that may be useful for taking the paint off the rims:

OK thanks, so scuffing and painting seems to be the way. But what kind of paint should i use? regular spray?

i didnt really give it a heavy sand just enough for it to stick, my buddy did this to his wheels and it held up fine so i decided to do it to these evo wheels i got.
i used like 1000 grit which is really light. i would use like 800 grit if you do it. and the paint was from autozone.
