Painting/powdercoating wheels
#22
i paint my wheels every 4 months or so,
i get bored with the color,
simply take them off the car
tape up the tire, or use index cards around the rim
then sand a little bit, make sure its all flat and pretty.
u can spray a fine coat of primer,
then do like 3 coats of paint
black grill paints is good
or any color
then add maybe 1-2 layers of gloss to protect them
it costs me no more than 20 dollars to change to any color i want
and takes no more than 2 hours
good luck, and take pictures
ps,,, the current rims i have were painted from gold to what they are now by me using the above method

Before you write the finish off, get a cheap electric toothbrush, some toothpaste, and spend a few hours brushing the wheels. You'll be surprised at how much of that brake dust crap comes off.
My Nickels still look OK after a year, and I didn't wash them for 3 months at one point.
