Painting question!
Hey, as some of u know ill be painting my rims black soon and i was wondering what's the best paint to get ( spray cans, with clear cans too).

My friend recently painted his wheels. All he really did was clean that wheel down pretty good and sanded down. I'm not sure if he primered but he used spray cans. No need for clear coats unless you want the shiny look but thats what Gloss spray cans are for. 
I still can't believe you're gonna do it. haha

haha i got the paint today man, a guy at my work is painting his **** rims too haha. It'll look good man trust me, my rims are sad as they are now so im just tryin to spice em up a bit haha, atleast they will be all the same color and no stains and **** on them. U think i should mask off the star on the center cap and leave it chrome? i think ill try it and if its gay ill just spray it right away. I got tremclad gloss black automotive paint and tremclad clear coat. its gonna be nice haha 
either way i still hate the rims, so maybe ill like them a lil bit after this, summer isnt very far away anyway, then its shine time. peace man

haha nice. I think you should paint the whole rim completely. It wouldn't look good if you had the center star silver out of no where. Good luck and hurry up because I want to see. haha
