lets see some spray canned gloss black rims... preferably 10 spokes.. hey guys.. so i dont wanna fork out the money to get my tires powder coated as of yet but wanna knowif any of u guys have simply spray canned your rims and how they look and if its even worth it..
this would probably be temporary unless i got pretty decent results..
and also would this affect them for the powder coating process...
pics and info are greatly appreciated.. tia

I painted my stock rims black with a clear coat, looks really good to me, I'll put some pics up after I get them loaded on my computer
As long as you sand and prep good you shouldnt have any problems

I have used Duplicolor wheel coating in a spray can and you will get surprisingly "decent" results. I think you'll be surprised with the result for the cost. I don't have any pics, but I used the dark grey. They also have clear.
Someone on here did vette wagon wheels with black appliance paint that came out very nice as well.

^ That looks like the color of the grey Duplicolor wheel coating that I used in a spray can. It resists stone chips and brake dust corrosion. You can use the clear on top for some extra protection if you like. I was impressed with how even the paint goes on.

^^^ I was wondering the same thing. DId you guys paint your rims with the tires mounted? Just wondering if I do decide to paint them, is paint going to flake off the lip when I get the tires mounted????

I'll look for pics of the grey rim on the car...i painted the pair without tires mounted and the mounting didn't affect it. I did 3 coats (light) and then 2 or 3 clear coats on them. . .
I kid, i do that all the time. Nothing looks weirder than Z06 motorsports on the front and salad shooters out back
