  • Is the paint wearing off your aluminum rims?

    I have the standard '98-02 rims and the paint looks like it's wearing off in places..has anyone had their rims repainted? Is this even a clearcoat paint job I have on my rims. I want to know how to get them looking new again...maybe there's a good spray paint out there?

      Hmm, well I don't exactly have the $$ for some new chromies, so anyone have any ideas for me?

              how much is peeling? i just touched up my old salad shooters with a bottle of silver metalic touch up we had for my dad's old ford. you can barely notice they were chipping. it didnt matter much to me anyway, they just sit in the basement.

                That's an idea, they aren't worn very bad so it might work. Thanks. [img]smile.gif[/img]
