Hey everyone i was thinking about painting my rims black.
only thing is... how should i paint them?
ive painted my brake cailpers and i used a brush and high temp caliper paint. they came out very nice. i love it way better than spray.
so what should i use to paint my rims? i really wanna use the brush and paint it on the rim. then maybe put a clear coat on it after.
also what paint should i use?
anyone wanna help me out and tell me if what im thinking about doing is right?

I spray bombed my wheels with Duplicolor wheel paint and then duplicolor wheel clear coat... It lasted for about a year and then started to chip a bit...
For best results get them professionally done!

Same as any paint job, the most important part is the prep
Dont use a brush! Good luck
