What the hell do you need to paint your rims? Paint of courses:-RRB- This is where Duplicolor comes in with their wheel paint.
You chose your color, bought your paint and are semi-ready. Reference the article to polish your rims on how sanding of the rims works. In my case, being winter rims painted I chose not to go through the process of stripping the paint on the rims completely.
Paint your own Rims? Who would have thought something previously done by professionals could be done in your own home.
While, the concept of painting your own rims has been around a few years now, many questions pop up of how to do it and I thought I would share my own experiences with painting my Integra stock rims. I have read up many examples of how to do this, but my first time trying was this year when I chose to refinish my winter rims. I was quite please with the outcome.
Your rims are sanded; you have your paint and now are ready. Make sure you clean all sanding dust off the rims and ensure a totally clean surface so the paint will stick and not flake off after your first drive out with your newly painted rims!!! Here are my rims washed and ready to completely dry before painting:
The rims are dry, you have masked off what you don’t want painted and now you are ready. Put some newspaper on the ground and place the rim on top of the newspaper. You don’t want to paint the concrete underneath the rim so keep it clean with the newspaper.
Now apply your first coat of paint. Let the paint dry well and next day admire your handiwork and results.

Of course you want to do this so you don’t turn your tires into the color you are painting. I don’t want gunmetal painted tires. I carefully applied the masking tape on the lip to protect it from being painted. In addition, you might want to consider getting a best car trash can for your new ride. You never know which lucky girl will be riding with you.
