How do i paint rims?

[sam r.]

My friend bought a red 91 camaro rs. It has stock wheels but the red paint has turned pink. I was thinking that I could just get some spray paint and re-paint them. Any suggestions though?

Best way to go is powder coating. 100's of colors.They sand plast off the old paint, spray it with powder coat then bake it. Comes out pretty much bullet proof. Should cost about $85 per rim. Look in your phone book under powder coating. Or go to www.slp.com for $50 5 spoke rims that are take offs.

ok i did this on my winter car but all i did was take so a chemical striper ($10) and get ride of the clear coat then, take sand paper and ruff the metal then clean the rims a couple of times with soap make sure they are clean and dry now you can paint them

Where did you find them on [URL=http://www.slponline.com] ? I looked but wasn't able to find take off wheels for $50 each.

they are the trans am take off wheels...

... but on a 3rd gen car, will require spacers, $200 worth.

not worth it.
