Painting The Rims?!?!?!
Permalink  
 

I wanna spray up my rims but dont want to take the spokes off to do it, ive taken the tyre and innertube off and cleaned them up good.

Do you reckon i could jus spray them as they are? I wanna do it my self and not fork out for a pro job that'll cost a fortune, any ideas please?!?!?!

same here toy man, want like a metallic red annodizing of spokes and rims when i get my husky 510 SMR would look bloooooooody orgasmic to say the least. I think your best off just shopping around to get the cheapest quote and get them done proffesionaly mate, but you could always have a nose about and try to get pointers from specialist shops around your area, to try and get the best info on how to do a DIY job. But even then i doubt it would last that long aww

If you do do it, so they dont flake as easy! i would sand them so they are rough, primer them, give them 2-3 coats of paint, then 1-2 lacquers....leave to dry in sun for 3-4 hours....Enjoy your sexy wheels haha
