Sweet! Gonna try this when I repaint my rims in a couple weeks

Great idea! I'll give it a try, what type of paint do you like?

I find that ceramic high temp engine paint works great.The trick is after your put on a few coats let it cure for a couple hours. Then heat the rim/paint up a few times with a good quailty heat gun to cure the paint. This will help the paint take much more abuse without chipping or scratching.

Make sure you fully rub down the old paint on the rims before applying the first coat.

If you dont get a key for the paint to bind to its gonna chip.

Use just enough paint to cover, as more paint is less flexible, and more prone to chipping.

Cool interesting idea that seams to be effictive and simple, I'm surprised I havent stumbled accross it before.

 

[michaelbell85]

omg i wouldve never painted polished rims that crazy.however that is by far the best way to paint rims i have ever seen.

 

[Paulie B]

You guys act like polished rims aren't the cheapest, easiest to find aftermarket wheels for any bike. They are like $40.
When I get new wheels I always go for the tire/wheel combo kit. Less trouble then just buying tires and then having to pay someone to take off the old ones and put the new ones on.
The results speak for themselves B)

Works great hehehaha

Nooooooooooo, poor polished rims. And $40 a rim adds up when you have to get 4 of them.... plus shipping. Anyways I like the method of painting them th.

Krylon fusion gold.

Thats really good paint. The fusion line is very durable. I painted the interior trim of my car with this stuff and its held up great. No chips or fading from sunlight. Amazing chap paint!
