Is the paint wearing off your aluminum rims?

[Camarorulz]

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?

[shock_core]

yeah, on my front two the clear coat is comming off. ima just use them for winter tires and get some nice chromies for summer :D idk about making them look new... is it even worth it/

[Camarorulz]

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

[badbird02]

take em to some place thatll sandblast em and repaint em. sounds like a good idea to me and it cant cost more than like 200$

[Camarorulz]

I could get new rims off of ebay for $200.

spray em with clear spraypaint and sand em, it might work... then wax em lol

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]
