Default Can you paint Rims????

I have a set of Chrome 10 spokes and was wondering if there is any way you can paint the inside of them where the spokes split apart and if so how do you do it or who can do it and maybe a round about on the price... i know a good painter just need to know if you can and the steps to doing it.. thank you

just tape off the surfaces you don't want painted, scuff the surfaces you do want painted, spray it, clear it, and you're done. not sure on price, i did mine myself, it's not too bad, just make sure you scuff everything really good that you want painted.

Not a problem...I've done it a bunch of times. The above process works fine depending on the wheel. Sometimes it's kinda hard to sand in all the little nooks and crannies some wheels have. I'm about to paint my ZR1s, and instead of sanding them I am going to soda blast them.
