Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

      Go to the auto parts store and buy some paint stripper, tape and sand paper.
      Do your rims have a lip on them that you do not want painted/scratched? Tape it off. Sand the paint a little, blast with paint stripper. Let it sit for a minute, and the paint (if they're already painted) should almost wipe off.

      Sometimes they have a coating that is not painted, but more like a powder coat-but not quite. These take multiple blast/scrape sessions.

      Untape, Wash and dry.

      Then tape off what you don't want to paint. (like rim lips) make sure you do a good job taping, and all the edges of the tape are very flat.

      Paint the rims.

      Wait for the paint to dry almost the whole way. Don't "test", you'll get crap lines. I would put multiple light coats of clear on the paint before you call it finished, and untape them.

      I should have some pics on page 3 in my MR thread that could illustrate for you.

          Duplicolor wheel paint seems to be a very popular choice.

            If I were looking for "in a spray can" wheel paint, I would go to home depot or lows. Moar colors/finishes!

              Aircraft stripped. O'reilys sells it. Just read the instructions. And watch a few youtube bids. Good luck.
