Paint Your Personal Vehicle
Although, the idea of painting your own rims has been around a couple of years now, many questions pop up of how you can do it and I thought I would share my own experiences with painting my Integra stock rims. I’ve read up many examples of how to do this, but my initial time attempting was this year when I chose to refinish my winter rims. I was very please with the outcome.
First, what the hell do you have to paint your rims? Paint obviously 
This is where Duplicolor comes in with their wheel paint. They offer paint colors to match your style coming in white, gunmetal, traditional silver and bronze too. So here are your choices:
So you chose your color, bought your paint and are semi-ready. Initial, you have to sand down your rims. Why? This provides the surface area a rough texture so the paint has some thing to adhere to. Reference the write-up to polish your rims on how sanding of the rims works. The only distinction with this really is how far you want to go. In my case, being winter rims painted I selected not to go via the procedure of stripping the paint about the rims totally. I simply sanded down the surface area with 300 grit sandpaper ensuring to make every thing sanded equally. This gives the rough surface area needed for the paint to adhere, and as long as your rims had no harm it should be great enough.
Your rims are sanded; you have your paint and now are prepared. First, make sure you clean all sanding dust off the rims and ensure a completely clean surface so the paint will stick and not flake off following your initial drive out with your newly painted rims!!! Listed here are my rims washed and prepared to totally dry prior to painting:
My rims are masked off with newspaper and masking tape. Of course you want to complete this so you do not turn your tires into the color you’re painting. I do not want gunmetal painted tires. Also if you appear close sufficient, you’ll know that the lip has been masked away too. So I carefully applied the masking tape on the lip to protect it from being painted too. Also, you know the small point you pump your air into, mask that off as well unless you would like that to have a color change as well
