yo if tires are on them then take a deck of cards and put then in the wall of the rim were it holds the tire to block over spray and just do light coats with some rim spraypaint from like autozoneComment

just make sure to sand it. i recently did my steelies and i painted them red. just sand it prime it, paint it, coat it.Comment

You don't necessarily have to prime it, but make sure to sand it good.
Duplicolor paint works good.
I painted my stock EX wheels with engine enamel and engine clear coat. It works great.R.I.P. Veronica - JDM F20A swapped 2.0 Si wannabe.

Is this on steelies or alloys? it depends. Different paint will work better depending on the answer. My personal choice is the Krylon wheel paint for plastics/metal. Just make sure you sand the shiznat out of them. Did mine white and they came out great. Remove each wheel, mask the tires off, If you have alloys and a center cap, remove those and paint the actual wheel, then it's up to you whether or not you want to paint the caps too. Take your time with them, that's all. On steelies I suppose it wouldn't matter as much...steelies FTL

agreed..Originally posted by robert@bisimoto View PostIf you want lasting results get them power-coated.
Back in the day when paint was all that was around, with the right prep work you could have a local automotive collision shop spray them for you, with lasting results and much shinier than powdercoating, they just don't like rock's as much as they will chip easier.
as for raddle can paint,, it has it's place, but not on a rolling investment.
maybe a tricycle but not your car, thats like using duct tape to hold your windshield in,,, will it work yeah, but not the best of meathods."Self Renewed"Comment

as said before make sure you prep the crap outta the wheels...and i have seen people use rattle can paints like i have seen shops do their spraying...looks are the same whether YOU spray it or a shop does...powder coating does last longer but some don't have that as an option..if you decide to spray it yourself then i suggest some paint that will be able to get hot like engine enamel...
