Rim paint

[cubanboy1993]

Hi guys I was wondering what you guys think I should use to re-paint my yellow rims on my car? Spray cans or what?

I would get them powder coated if you have the $$$.

This. I just had mine done in white, cost me $300 for them to sandblast, coat, and clear.

That's a good price!
I'm guessing somewhere in Rochester you had this done?

Yep! At Accurate Paint & Powder Coating. It would have been $350 with the clear, but they had some important project they needed to finish which pushed getting my wheels done back a couple days. So the owner was nice and cleared them for no cost.

Depends on what type of wheels they are. If they are fake, I'd personally never spend $300 on powder coat (since for about the same money or a bit more you can just get brand NEW wheels). I'd use good quality spray paint and do it myself (I'm fairly good at it, not trying to show off or anything). I highly recommend the spray paint called Montana, they specialize in graffiti and other forms of spray paint art, so they have a huge range of colors and it dries extremely fast.

To properly adhere paint surface must be clean,cool, and dry. Powder paint is best,then spray booth,etc. Whatever the longer it cures the better it lasts and holds.
